[Bug 86487] Re: Restore evolution data with backup
I've added information on the backup procedure. Could someone confirm there is a problem? How to successfully restore Evolution ff there is no problem? ** Changed in: evolution (Ubuntu) Status: Rejected = Needs Info -- Restore evolution data with backup https://launchpad.net/bugs/86487 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 86487] Re: Restore evolution data with backup
that looks about right, if that doesn't work that's not an evolution bug though, use the menu item for that. You can use user mailing list or forum to get other users opinions about your backup method, the bug tracker is not the right place, closing the bug, that's not one from the software ** Changed in: evolution (Ubuntu) Status: Needs Info = Rejected -- Restore evolution data with backup https://launchpad.net/bugs/86487 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

No problem Sebastien! In case someone runs into this problem. The above described procedure didn't work.

[Bug 86487] Re: Restore evolution data with backup
I'll try the graphical import function and report back. Anyway, I've followed these steps to backup Evolution as usual: Step 1: Shutdown evolution and gconftool-2: $ gconftool-2 --shutdown $ evolution –force-shutdown Step 2: Create an archive with the data and configuration files: Note: To completely save the Evolution data and configuration, you need to save the following directories/files: 1. ~/.evolution/ 2. ~/.gconf/apps/evolution/ 3. ~/.gnome2_private/Evolution The following command will take care of these $ cd $ tar -cvzf evolution-backup.tar.gz .evolution .gconf/apps/evolution .gnome2_private/Evolution Now the file evolution-backup.tar.gz is the backup you want. Step 3: You can move the data over to another Ubuntu computer if you like, and just un-tar the archive while in your /home/username/ directory to restore it. -- Restore evolution data with backup https://launchpad.net/bugs/86487 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 86487] Re: Restore evolution data with backup
Thank you for your bug. That's not a package bug if you backup procedure (which you didn't describe) doesn't work. The feisty evolution has a menu item for to do backups and restores them, would probably be a good idea to use that feature ** Changed in: evolution (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Wishlist Assignee: (unassigned) = Ubuntu Desktop Bugs Status: Unconfirmed = Rejected -- Restore evolution data with backup https://launchpad.net/bugs/86487 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
