[Evolution] Folder files copied manually to the evolution
I need an assistance. not very much expert in Linux i decided to upgrade from Ubunut 10.04 to 12.04, so i did backup of all data. for evolution i used the evolution backup menu file size is 8.8GB named (evolution-backup.tar.gz) i used to do backup before and during restore all goes well... it was always the best restore So i formatter the HDD, and installed new 12.04 During the restore of data with evolution menu, an error shows Please select a valid backup file to restore. I tried to do several methods - copy from USB to internal HDD and restore again ... same error - change the backup file extension from .tar.gz to .tar ... same error - use command: tar -xvf evolution-backup.tar .. it shows new error gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file tar: Unexpected EOF in archive tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now Finally, i used Windows WinRAR.. and i could able to see the files folders. i did recover / copy the files, some error shows, but it's ok.. main files are recovered as what i see.. Now, I'm trying to copy these files back to Evolution on Ubunut 12.04 what is the best and safest method. please note, i'm not beginner with ubunut, and need help, please. khd -- View this message in context: http://gnome-evolution-general.1774414.n4.nabble.com/Folder-files-copied-manually-to-the-evolution-tp4655667.html Sent from the Gnome Evolution - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com.___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

In fact since Evo has supported IMAP since the beginning, a migration strategy for widely separated versions is to move the old mail onto an IMAP server, switch Evo versions, then just access it with the new one (or download it again if you really must). Pity this isn't so easy for contacts, tasks, filters etc. Blame me, if I'm a little off topic, but: Didn't UbuntuOne offer a service to synchronize - at least - contacts ? I did not yet have a look at how they do it. If they do it with simple file copy, it may be another way that doesn't solve the problem ... Is there any experience with it ? ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

No, the UbuntuOne service never made any sense to me. Evolution supports GroupDAV / CardDAV [in Evo it is called WebDAV] for contacts and CalDAV for tasks, events, and memos. And Evolution is just about the only client to actually support *attachments* via CalDAV for tasks and appointments - which is simply awesome. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
