<p>OK , so I can see that there is this doveadm backup.. <br>
</p>
<p>I don't use any MailDir on each account.. but all the emails are
stored into the folder /var/www/mail ( user 1 , user2, etc... )</p>
<p>in that case, a very basic backup would be : <b>doveadm backup
/var/www/mail /var/backup/folder</b> ?</p>
<p>( I prefer to ask before trying, because If break something..
here, they will kill me :-( )<br>

not doing an rsync of the folders ? Will it damage the index file

Howdy,
<br>
<br>
I have a particular situation where I have about 5 users using a
large account in IMAP, and I have the need to backup the account
daily or weekly or so.
<br>
I was thinking about to copy the whole directory, each email is
a file, it could probably work, but the dovecot index files
would be damaged/wrong.
<br>
<br>
Is there a tool that could perform a backup (ex: yesterday), and
when I inserted that backup, it just insert the emails and
folders that were deleted today?
<br>
<br>
Thanks in advanced,
<br>
Jorge
