Joao, For backing up in the future... I think this came from this mail list a while back:
I found this at: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2005-January/msg00117.html -------------------------------- > What is the safe way to backup Evolution data? Is backing up .evolution/ > sufficient enough? Your data is in ~/.evolution and your settings are stored using GConf in your ~/.gconf/apps/evolution directory. Before backing up the Evolution data, close Evolution and it's backend tasks. Before backing up the settings (in GConf) close the GConf daemon as well. If either one is running, you might end up with old (not synced to disk) and probably even broken data. $ evolution --force-shutdown $ gconftool-2 --shutdown For backup purposes only you can omit most of the indexing data. Restoring the backup is another topic, although very similar to the above. Make sure Evolution and GConf are not running, while restoring those dirs. ...guenther On Wed, 2006-09-20 at 16:25 +0100, Joao Miguel Ferreira wrote: > Hello all, > > I really need help here....
