"doveadm backup/sync" are badly documented

[Jesus Cea]

Most documents around there talk abour "dsync", but the modern way is
"doveadm backup". This command is not documented in the wiki and there
are a few details missing, like how to use it thru SSH.

I am currently doing some tests about how to backup my mdbox. I can do
tests in local using:

$ doveadm backup -u jcea -m proveedores/dovecot mdbox:/tmp/aa/

This will "backup" this mailing list mailbox to "/tmp/aa". Good. Lets
try thru SSH:

$ doveadm backup -u jcea  -m proveedores/dovecot ssh 127.0.0.1 dsync -u
jcea mdbox:/tmp/aa/
jcea at 127.0.0.1's password:
Fatal: Invalid parameter: mdbox:/tmp/aa/
dsync-local(jcea): Error: read(remote) failed: EOF (version not received)

How shoudl I do it?.

$ doveadm backup -h
backup: invalid option -- 'h'
doveadm backup [-u <user>|-A] [-S <socket_path>] [-dfR] [-l <secs>] [-r
<rawlog path>] [-m <mailbox>] [-n <namespace> | -N] [-x <exclude>] [-s
<state>] <dest>

I can't find any explanation at all about the different parameters of
"doveadm backup".

Same thing with "doveadm sync".
