Hi, there is a command line tool, the GUI (Evolution itself) calls it. It's in /usr/libexec/evolution/evolution-backup (or some similar place, depending how your distro packages it). > ...or is it enough to simply tar This might be useful: https://help.gnome.org/users/evolution/stable/data-storage.html > When I use the built in command it takes a very long time - up to 10 > mins, I know my backups are large - around 1.5G, but a simple tar > takes a lot less time What is the format of the backup? Is it .tar.xz or .tar.gz? The former is slower. You can change the destination file extension to .tar.gz, which will use the other compression method. I think your version has that too, even though I'm not sure it really has a GUI option to change the extension/format. It should work regardless of it (even it needs testing).
