I'd say the correct term is not broken but missing. backup was implemented in later version.

With maildir keeping a copy of the content is sufficient backup.

</div>Ok, so for lack of any other information, am I to conclude that the doveadm backup command is broken in 2.0.9? I have been through the wiki for it back and forth and cannot make it work.

Yes, I need to upgrade, there is no question, but I won’t do that without a maildir backup. I would prefer to use the built-in dovecot mechanisms for that than something else.

Okay then. Is there a document on how to do that in place? That was one of the reasons I was trying to do a backup first.

You should upgrade 2.2 first.

No backup is created, it just shows me the usage text.

I am having trouble locating examples of how to use doveadm backup. All the examples I see are for sync. I simply want to create a backup to a network volume of the email server's vmail folders. The goal here is to have a reasonably current backup should the main drive on the email server go south.
</div>
<div class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div class="">
We currently authenticate our users from a mysql database. User’s mailboxes are stored as domainname/username/Maildir
</div>
<div class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div class="">
I assume what I will wind up on the network volume is a duplicate directory structure as the vmail folder on the email server?
</div>
<div class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div class="">
Can someone help get me started here?
