With user being the actual user name.

No backup is created, it just shows me the usage text.

I am having trouble locating examples of how to use doveadm backup. All the
examples I see are for sync. I simply want to create a backup to a network
volume of the email server's vmail folders. The goal here is to have a
reasonably current backup should the main drive on the email server go south.

<div>

</div>
<div>
We currently authenticate our users from a mysql database. User’s mailboxes
are stored as domainname/username/Maildir
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
I assume what I will wind up on the network volume is a duplicate directory
structure as the vmail folder on the email server?
</div>
<div>

<div>
Can someone help get me started here?
