[Bug 87293] Backing Up Evolution to a .tar (Archive??) file

[Kevin P. Munn]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: evolution

Tried backing up to a .tar file, using the suggested:

"~$ tar -cvzf evolution-backup.tar.gz .evolution .gconf/apps/evolution
.gnome2_private/evolution"

AFTER closing and "Force Closing".
It did not return the .tar file, giving instead:

"tar: .gnome2_private/evolution: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors"

What am I doing wrong? Or is there a better way of backing it up?
At least if I can, It will SHUT UP my boss...

** Affects: evolution (Ubuntu)
