Hi, I want to write a little script to backup ~/evolution. I currently tar and compress the entire directory and the resulting files are about 35MB in size.
What files can safely be skipped and will result in a considerable reduction of size? All mail-folders contain the following files: folder-metadata.xml local-metadata.xml mbox mbox.ev-summary mbox.ibex.index mbox.ibex.index.data I suppose the .xml files are important since they appear to specify the type of folder. (anyway they're too small too influence the size considerably) But do I need any other files than the mbox file?
