As far as I can tell, doing a for loop around 'doveadm user \*' is the
only way. That will do a dsync of all the users. On the backup server
you will need to decide what to do with the data. I've been rotating it
on a daily basis to try and get several daily backups, then some weekly,
and monthly.

I've been working on a backupninja[0] handler to do dsync backups, but
its still rough.
