Simple backup of maildir folder

[Francis Augusto Medeiros-Logeay]

Hi,

I want to do a simple backup of my maildir. I read here that maildirlock 
is not to count on in the future and the recommended option was to use 
doveadm backup. However, it seems that this requires to setup another 
dovecot server.

My questions are:

- How much to I need to configure this new server? Do I need to setup 
user by user, or even install postfix (that's where my users are 
configured) to get it all backed up? I tried to install dovecot and 
running doveadm backup, but it complains the users are not there.
- What's the simplest way to configure dovecot without mirrowing my 
server so that this can work?

Best,

Francis
