[Dovecot] Not backing up cache files

I am using mdbox for dovecot storage.

I wonder if I could skip "dovecot.index.cache" files and, in general,
"*.cache" files when doing mail backup. Those files are big and change
frequently. What I feel from reading documentation [1][2] is that they
could be dropped in the backups, to be recreated on the fly if needed.

But I would like expert confirmation.

Thanks!.
