Settings for Déjà Dup are stored in dconf - you use dconf-edit to change or view it. I assume you are on ubuntu.
If you run the program as root, it will store all it work on the root / directory as you found out. You may want to create a user that has a different home directory, and allow advanced permissions for that user.

DCONF(1) User Commands DCONF(1)
NAME
dconf - Simple tool for manipulating a dconf database
SYNOPSIS
dconf read KEY
dconf list DIR
dconf write KEY VALUE
dconf reset [-f] PATH
dconf update
dconf watch PATH
dconf dump DIR
dconf load DIR
dconf help [COMMAND]
DESCRIPTION
The dconf program can perform various operations on a dconf database, such as reading or writing individual values or entire directories.
This tool operates directly on the dconf database and does not read gsettings schema information. Therefore, it cannot perform type and
consistency checks on values. The gsettings(1) utility is an alternative if such checks are needed.
The DIR arguments must be directory paths (starting and ending with '/'), the KEY arguments must be key paths (starting, but not ending
with '/') and the PATH arguments can be either directory or key paths.
VALUE arguments must be in GVariant format, so e.g. a string must include explicit quotes: "'foo'". This format is also used when printing
out values.
COMMANDS
read
Read the value of a key.
list
List the sub-keys and sub-directories of a directory.
write
Write a new value to a key.
reset
Reset a key or an entire directory. For directories, -f must be specified.
update
Update the system dconf databases.
watch
Watch a key or directory for changes.
dump
Dump an entire subpath to stdout. The output is in a keyfile-like format, with values in GVariant syntax.
load
Populate a subpath from stdin. The expected format is the same as produced by dump.
help
Display help and exit. If COMMAND is given, display help for this command.
