Hi Not and other folks I am trying to copy all email boxes of an USER, such Inbox, Outbox, Sent, etc. from Evolution 1.4 running on a RH8.0 box to another Evolution 1.4 running on a RH9.0 box, same USER, and encountered difficulty as follows;
Steps taken RH8.0 box # mkdir /home/satimis/Temp/ # tar -zcvf /home/satimis/Temp/backup_local.tar.gz /home/satimis/evolution/local/ Burnt the tarball on a CD Untar RH9.0 box The CD was automatically mounted Test-1 # tar -zxvf /mnt/cdrom/backup_local.tar.gz -C /home/satimis/evolution/local The tarball was decompressed to /home/satimis/evolution/local/home/satimis/evolution/local/ I tried to copy a file/email from the untared Inbox to /home/satimis/evolution/local/Inbox/ but it could not work. Starting Evolution could not see that email in the Inbox. Maybe copying files or folders/directories from the untared /home/satimis/evolution/local/ and pasting the same to /home/satimis/evolution/local/ of RH9.0 are not the correct procedure. Test-2 # tar -zxvf /mnt/cdrom/backup_local.tar.gz -C I saw on the Konsole window the tarball has been decompressed but I could not locate the decompressed folder/directory afterwords. Could you please advise what shall be the correct syntax to tar /home/satimis/evolution/local/ on RH8.0 box and untar the tarball on RH9.0 box. Thanks in advance.
