[Dovecot] doveadm backup - Fatal: All your namespaces have a location setting.

16 Sep 2012


      Hello list,
I am using dovecot v2.1.9 and have a problem with doveadm backup:
# doveadm backup -u user@domain.com
maildir:/backup/domain.com/user/Maildir
doveadm(user@domain.com): Fatal: All your namespaces have a location
setting. It should be empty (default mail_location) in the namespace to
be converted.
Here my namespace config:
namespace {
list = children
location =
maildir:/var/vmail/%%d/%%n/Maildir:INDEX=/var/vmail/%d/%n/shared/%%u
prefix = Gemeinsame-Postfaecher/%%u/
separator = /
subscriptions = no
type = shared
}
namespace inbox {
inbox = yes
location =
maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir:INDEX=/var/vmail/indexes/%u
prefix =
separator = /
subscriptions = yes
type = private
}
Have I got a problem with my namespace config?
Regards,
Tobias Hachmer
