Hi Jeff,
This should be better off to dovecot's mailing list.
But just to get you started, this is the first thing that came to mind:
example:
for users in `doveadm user "*"`; do
LOCALPART=${users%%@*}
dsync -v -f -u $users backup maildir:/tmp/backup/$LOCALPART
echo "Backup done for user: $users ..."
done
