Hi!

It has been asked about what files belong to KDE PIM and Akonadi often 
enough. And they are scattered around in different locations. Also I have 
not really been aware of this fine tool. So let me introduce you to the:

PIM data exporter. It can basically make an export of your PIM data. I am 
not going to test whether a restore will actually really restore exactly 
to the state I had before… and honestly given the complexity I somewhat 
doubt it. It may be a reason it is not called backup and restore but 
import and export. But it should store your valuable data. Also if you 
want to know a bit what config files and so on are involved… you can try an 
export and see in its log and in the resulting archive file on what files it 
stores.

I did so without local mail cause… local mail folder equals 28 GiB 
according to du -sh on my system. Might come in handy in case I mess up a 
configuration or so.

BTW I am still quite happy with SQLite3 backend. It is not perfect either, 
but a huge lot better than any of the other two.

Best,
