I am looking into IMAP-based "doveadm backup" (ie running doveadm elsewhere) but I fear this will require an admin username/password which wouldn't be accessible on a shared host.
If you don't have admin access to add a master password configuration, but do have the account passwords for the various you want to backup, separate backup runs with either dovecot tools using imapc, or any standard imap sync programs, are probably simplest.
I would be grateful if anyone can offer insight re the rsync query.
I guess you'd probably need at least mmap_disable=yes on the server, but I don't know enough about it to know whether that will be enough by itself.
