So I should not be using "-R" with "doveadm backup" then ?

For "-R" the docs say "will instead pull messages from the remote to the local storage."

for "backup" the docs say "doveadm backup performs one-way synchronization"

That's where I'm confused.

invoke ‘doveadm backup’ locally and it will sync TO remote.
invoke ‘doveadm backup -R’ locally and it will sync FROM remote.
