http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Dsync

There are two operation modes for dsync:

dsync mirror - does a two-way synchronization between two mail locations

dsync backup - backup mails from default mail location to location2 (or vice versa, if -R parameter is given)
               No changes are ever done to the source location. Any changes done in destination are discarded.

The advantage of dsync over imapsync is that UUIDs of mails
can be preserved if Dovecot is running on target side.
Imapsync cannot access Dovecot internals, it is just an IMAP client.

Daniel
