doveadm backup has problems with some accounts
I try to setup for our mailserver (in a dc) a job backup to a secondary server (in our office) with "doveadm backup" via the -R option. (rsync , rsnapshot and so on tooks too long at the moment)
For the most user accounts all work as expected, but for three users it always fails
First run: /usr/bin/doveadm -Dv backup -Ru user1 tcp:mua01.domain.intra:12345

So it aborts on the lines above and a incomplete maildir is on the local server. so the next doveadm try say's that he can't delete INBOX , etc.

This a very old account on our server which was migrated over different iterations of our dovecot mailserver. The user behind the account uses outlook over years. Is the space here a problem?
Another user with a similiar issue has the following error message at the end:

I see that the user has a very big inbox? when i check in the source server in the "cur" folder of the INBOX it count's around 269372 mails. Is this perhaps the issue for this message?
And on the last user it looks like:

The "Entwürfe" folder directly cannot be the issue? On the filesystem the folder has the name ".Entw&APw-rfe" and also other users has similar folders in their mailboxes.
The source server has dovecot version 2.2.36 (centos 7.9.2009) and the current destination server dovecot version 2.3.16 (ubuntu 22.04 lts)

Try deleting the target mailbox completely. This usually sorts these kind of things out. Also please see https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/migrating_mailboxes/

Hi Aki
I wondered, why is my answere here missing in the mailing list and now see that the answer was directly to your email adress. ( i only pressed answer in thunderbird and don't looked a the recipient, so i now use the webui )
My Answer was:
I already tried to deleting of the destination folder. The folder is then freshly created via doveadm, but is unfinished because the backup jobs aborts on the > messages mentioned above. If i don't delete the destination folder, the backup job gives me a clearer error message:
doveadm(user3)<68274></THVECElaWWyCgEAy5X8iQ>: Error: Mailbox INBOX sync: mailbox_delete failed: INBOX can't be deleted.
The other 450 accounts on the server have no issue and doveadm backup works as expected.
I don't have any special namespaces configured on the server or acls. The server is a simple setup, mariadb as user backend and most settings are default settings. I enabled managesieve for filtering.
Also the logfiles on the source server don't give me more hints, what the issue could be.
I also do some tests since then, when i completly remove the folder/mailbox and den start the sync again it's always aborts on a different mail/position

Because, that perhaps the version missmatch of the servers coul'd be the issue , and centos 7 eol comes in two months, i setup a complete new main mailserver, based on ubuntu 22.04 (24.04 was not out on starting to setup the stuff) so now both servers had dovecot 2.3.16.
But it doesn't help, still the backup jobs abort in the middle of the transfer, now with complete different error messages.
On the destination server i started it with the following command ( the corresponding user folder & files is deleted under /var/spool/vmail and /var/indexes )
/usr/bin/doveadm -D -v backup -t 1200 -Ru user1 tcp:mua02.domain.intra:12345

Both servers are synced with the same ntp servers and have the same time when i check it.
