 Description   

After restore with mariabackup --copy-back the files have to be chown'd because in the majority of cases the restore is performed as O/S user root and not as O/S user mysql.

This is an additional unnecessary error prone step. It would be really nice if mariabackup would store the ownership (and also umask?) of each file during backup and would also restore those owenerships during restore.

Should note be a big deal...
