Hi list I have configured my dovecot(s) in a frontend-backend setup using the director feature of dovecot. Works like charm, but I'm currently unable to use doveadm backup to "sync" the mailbox to a dovecot system which is not within director_mail_servers settings Before I added the director feature I could fire a simple doveadm backup -u myuser at mydomain.tld tcps:otherserver.mydomain.tld:2424 After activating the director the command above fails as the connection is always tried to be established to one of the servers specified in director_mail_servers. Is it possible to use doveadm backup towards a server which is not in director_mail_servers? I tried with the -o option of doveadm to override several settings like host or director_mail_servers but no success: the command still tries to connect to an ip from director_mail_servers and not to the destination given as parameter to the command. Is there anyway to achieve that? Thanks a lot for any help tobi -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Sorry own stupidity :-) After issuing the command on the backend server it works like expected. I did issue the command on the frontend initially :-) Everything fine now Am 12.01.2016 um 10:22 schrieb Tobi:> Hi list > > I have configured my dovecot(s) in a frontend-backend setup using the > director feature of dovecot.
