that looks about right, if that doesn't work that's not an evolution bug

Step 2:

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
