If you are using director, you can issue `doveadm quota recalc -A` on director, which will then direct it to correct backend.

For this to work, it requires that you setup doveadm server on the backend, and configure doveadm_port and doveadm_password on director. It also either needs iteratable user database on director, or a list of users in a file, which you can provide with option -F.
