I think that hiding features from a GUI is a poor idea to protect your
data (from what?).
If you are talking of a single database (or a restricted set of), you
can provide a role with the less privileges, like only SELECT and use
such account to do the backup. But you need all the grants on another
account to restore the backup.

Anyway, I think you should rethink about your aim: what's the point of
having a restricted user who can backup ALL the data?
