[Dovecot] incremental backups of maildir via rsync

Hi folks,

I would like to do incremental backups of the users' maildir
directories to a dedicated backup host (using "rsync -SHa"
and rsnapshot).

Problem is: Dovecot bloats the incremental backup by changing
the file names again and again.

Is there some way to tell Dovecot to keep meta information
separate from the file names?


Any helpful comment would be highly appreciated.
