Evolution Mail

[Craig Adams]

Hi,

For a complete backup of Evolution you need to backup the following:

~/.evolution/
~/.gconf/apps/evolution/
~/.gnome2_private/Evolution

but before you do a backup or restore you will need to:

gconftool-2 --shutdown
evolution --force-shutdown

I suggest that you open a terminal, shutdown the services and backup
using (may wrap):

tar -cvzf
backupname.tar.gz .evolution .gconf/apps/evolution .gnome2_private/Evolution

Kindest Regards

Craig A.
