Backing Up Files I Don't Own

[CLIFFORD ILKAY]

Hi,

I need to back up all of /home on a remote server for which I have root 
access but cannot (and will not) do root logins via ssh. Of course if I 
attempt to rsync files that I don't own, rsync skips over them. My account 
is allowed to sudo, if that helps. How can I use rsync to do the following:

rsync -av --compress --progress --delete -e me at SomeRemoteServer:/home 
/home/buForSomeRemoteServer

/home looks like this:

/home
-- me
-- user1
-- user2
-- user3

I don't own user 1, 2, or 3.
