Hi, I'm sorry, but where did you get such steps for a restore from a backup? How did you create the backup? The only right way of using Evolution-created backups is to use File->Backup Evolution settings and its counter part, File->Restore Evolution settings pointing to the file which the former menu entry created. There is no way to restore the file manually the way you did it, because of the code doing the replacements in paths and such. There can be done a manual restore of certain parts of the backup file, but it can easily break evolution, just the same as it happened to you. If you break things, then removing ~/.local/share/evolution, ~/.cache/evolution, ~/.config/evolution and GConf path /apps/evolution, or GSettings path /org/gnome/evolution (for newer versions) will help to start from scratch and restore from backup using Evolution itself. You might not have any evolution background processes running when doing the folder cleanup. Also, better to rename folders, than to delete, to not lose your data.
