the problem is messages can be changed on both servers (this situation 
can last for about 1 month till the old server is finally retired)
I have made initial backup using this command
doveadm -v -o imapc_host=src.srv -o imapc_user=test at domain.tld -o 
pop3c_user=test at domain.tld -o imapc_password='pass' -o 
pop3c_password='pass' -o mail_fsync=never -o mail_prefetch_count=20 
backup -R -u test at domain.tld imapc:
Backup was successfull

When i try later to do sync it seems to work only from remote to loacal 
(src.srv to the server im runing dovecot sync command on) and not the 
other way
if i ommit -R in the sync command dovecot generates an error.
