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
