Assuming that by "backup" you mean the internal Evo function File->Backup Settings, then it shouldn't be difficult. The backup file is just a tar.gz archive, so you can use standard tools to extract any part of it you want. Or just extract the whole thing to a temporary directory and move the Contacts parts into place. Be sure to halt Evo completely ("evolution --force-shutdown") before touching the .evolution subtree. poc _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
