dovecot - Feb 2006 - how to make the server consistent for replication?

hi every one,
   i want to make the dovecot mail server consistent and flush its caches for
backup purpose.
  can anybody tell mehow to make that? (i've written a signal handler to 
call the functoins from my code. The server caches should be flushed  before the
function call.)
  any reply ?
