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.

I assume what I will wind up on the network volume is a duplicate

Okay then. Is there a document on how to do that in place? That was one of the reasons I was trying to do a backup first.

Ok, so for lack of any other information, am I to conclude that the doveadm backup command is broken in 2.0.9? I have been through the wiki for it back and forth and cannot make it work. Yes, I need to upgrade, there is no question, but I won?t do that without a maildir backup. I would prefer to use the built-in dovecot mechanisms for that than something else.
