Backup a Mailbox
On the Dovecot server host:
cd .../<user-home> tar -cvspf - Maildir | gzip > yyyy.mm.dd-dovecot-IMAP-<user-name>-Maildir.tar.gz
Restore a Mailbox
As root:
cd .../<user-home>
The following command will create a Maildir subdirectory, so if there's one already, back it up:
gunzip < archive.tar.gz | tar -xvspf -
Restore ownership:
chown -R <dovecot-owner-uid>:<dovecot-owner-gid> Maildir
