I am having trouble locating examples of how to use doveadm backup. All the examples I see are for sync. I simply want to create a backup to a network volume of the email server's vmail folders. The goal here is to have a reasonably current backup should the main drive on the email server go south.
We currently authenticate our users from a mysql database. User’s mailboxes are stored as domainname/username/Maildir
I assume what I will wind up on the network volume is a duplicate directory structure as the vmail folder on the email server?
Can someone help get me started here?

In my previous life as a SysAdmin, I solved this kind of problem easily using the MTA.
Exim is my MTA of choice and has a facility to do concurrent delivery to two storage locations using shadow_transport.
I am guessing your MTA is Postfix (or maybe Sendmail). Try and see if they have such a capability or switch to Exim.
