The main potential problem with that is that if a message's flag is changed, the filename changes so it's now stored twice in the backup server. So when restoring mails, be sure not to restore duplicates.
Using a different dedicated directory for restored messages could lead to the same problem?
If you didn't give --delete parameter to rsync, there could be duplicates, yes. Dovecot just logs about them and gives new UIDs to them, so you'll end up having duplicate mails. I suppose some day I should just change it to log a warning, but delete if the files are otherwise identical.
