Kick off a manual backup:
$ dsync -u user@domain.tld backup mdbox:/<path to backup>/mdbox
This results in doubling the quota for the backed up user.
This is problematic. With dict quota you'll have this problem, because both source and destination uses the same file. So it would kind of make sense to disable quota for the destination dsync.. Except with Maildir++ the quota is stored in the Maildir root directory. There are no problems with dsyncing it, and you most likely wouldn't want quota disabled there.
So .. I'm not really sure what I can do about this. There are some workarounds you could do, like:
dsync -u user@domain.tld backup dsync -o mail=mdbox:/<path to backup>/mdbox -o plugin/quota=
(works only with latest 2.0/2.1 hg, but with older versions you could do e.g. -o mail_plugins=)
Still, it would be nice if there was some generic solution to this. Perhaps the destination username should be something different, like "backup". In dict-sql case then it would modify "backup" user's quota. For dict-file the %h could maybe expand to backup user's homedir.. The backup username probably should be a parameter to dsync I guess.. But an extra parameter wouldn't fix this automatically..
