Not sure if this matters but the prompt when attempting the “doveadm backup” command shows it to be a “production" server…

[root at production1 test.org.com]# doveadm backup -R -u kishore at test.org.com
remote:vmail at production2.baplc.com

...that would seem to me to indicate the old box.  If so, then per Kishore’s earlier posts, the machine where this is being attempted is running 2.0.9…not 2.2.36

Maybe nothing but thought I would mention it…

Yes. Please find the details of the servers below. I am executing the command from one of the new servers.

I find it very hard to believe this. Shall I look at the version control when backup was added as option to doveadm?

2.2.36 has it:

[root@ketola ~]# dovecot --version
2.2.36.8 (0c9d56b41)
[root@ketola ~]# doveadm backup
doveadm backup [-u <user>|-A] [-S <socket_path>]  [-fPRU] [-l <secs>] [-r <rawlog path>] [-m <mailbox>] [-g <mailbox_guid>] [-n <namespace> | -N] [-x <exclude>] [-s <state>] [-t <start date>] -d|<dest>
