[Dovecot] Anyone successfully setup Continous Backup of mailboxes using rsync ?

[CoolAtt NNA]

luigi, can you tell me  what will happen if I create a directory in a user's mailbox and restore some emails there.
now if the user's quota is x mb & after restoration the mailbox becomes greater than x mb.
will this cause any prob ?
