Does anyone have a working solution as to how I can use "doveadm backup" to back up a virtual users mailbox to a removable USB device. I keep receiving numerous errors and no files are backed up although the directories are created. -- Jerry

Just use it to copy the directories where mail is stored. Depending on the format, you may need to save the indexes too. -- Eduardo M KALINOWSKI eduardo at kalinowski.com.br

The thread got derailed into into discussion of how to use `doveadm backup` properly to have a one-step backup of all the virtual users, but it was sadly inconclusive. All-in-all, we need to see exact commands you run and exact error messages you receive to be able to do suggestions or at least informed guesses.
