Not for backup. It'd be rather tricky to allow backing up data without
being able to read it, afterall.
I believe CHECKPOINT is protected since repeatedly calling it could
result in performance problems, but you can probably get around that if
needed by using a security-definer function.
Why do you want non-superusers to be able to checkpoint, anyway?
