doveadm backup : Warning: Deleting mailbox GUID= is missing locally
Hi,
As per the docs (https://wiki.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm/Sync) I'm presently running doveadm backup multiple times with a view to eventual server migration.
I am seeing messages such as this: Warning: Deleting mailbox 'Junk': UID=1826 GUID= is missing locally
Is it anything to worry about ? If so, how should I be dealing with it.
I also have a further question. It is not clear from the docs what the role of the "-R" flag is in relation to "doveadm backup" ? Surely by definition backup = remote -> local ?
Thanks !
Laura

this is probably a bug of some sort. Basically just means that Junk is resynced completely and not just delta.

–R means reverse sync. Reverse direction.

Great. Thanks you for clarifying.

–R means reverse sync. Reverse direction.
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.
