Evolution Backup
Step 1:
Shutdown evolution and gconftool-2
$gconftool-2 --shutdown $evolution –force-shutdown
Step 2:
Create an archive with the data and configuration files
The following command will take care of these $cd
$tar -cvzf evolution-backup.tar.gz .evolution .gconf/apps/evolution Now the file evolution-backup.tar.gz is the backup you want. You can move the data over to another Ubuntu computer if you like, and just un-tar the archive while in your /home/username/ directory to restore it. Restore $gconftool-2 --shutdown
$evolution --force-shutdown
$tar xzf evolution-backup.tar.gz
