Sorry, you have to set up Boxi like Box Backup, because it needs the
same information to work with. It's difficult to avoid that. (The next
version will allow you to run interactive backups and restores with less
information configured, and make it easier to configure with a wizard).

You can certainly run Boxi (and Box Backup) as a non-root user. I do all
the time. Tell Boxi where to find its configuration file (if not
in /etc/box) by giving it a command line parameter, or File -> Open.

You can also browse and restore files (like bbackupquery) without
starting bbackupd, so you don't need to set the PID file location, etc.

Cheers, Chris.
