dear list,
i try to backup our dovecot server via
doveadm -Dv backup -A -n inbox -n shared remote:vmail at 192.168.122.51
So far, it's working fine except for one thing: the "seen"flags
for the
shared mailboxes don't get copied to the backup-server. I tried a few
things
(like calling the doveadm command with different options for the
namespaces or defining the mailboxes -m; i also changed the path for
INDEXPVT),
but none of these worked and i don't know how to tell doveadm to sync
these flags.
Maybe the config for the namespaces is wrong?
Or is it just not possible (yet)?
thanks in advance
The configs for the source and the backup server are the same: (except
for hostname, ip,...)

It's probably skipping those folders because it thinks they're already synced. You anyway need to sync each shared folder as each user, but I think that command would be doing it.

But adding the -f parameter made no difference (i also ran the command several times), maybe i'm having a completely different problem..
