That sort of thing is unlikely to work unless you really know the internals of Evo - the application files are just not meant to be manipulated by users. > So my data seemes to be lost...

Is your '/home-backup' and exact copy of all the files in your original /home? Including things such as .gconf? If so, then try the following: first, make a complete copy of /home-backup and keep it somewhere (very) safe. Logout of your username and login as root. Rename your /home directory to something else, then rename your /home-backup to /home and make sure the UID of the username you login as is the same. Login as your username and your home directory should be your old one - start up Evo. Depending on the old version number, Evo may now upgrade your data to the current version. Once evo starts properly, use the Backup function to create a full backup of your data and save it to /tmp. Logout again as root - reverse the renaming of /home and /home-backup. Log in as yourself again and import your data from the file you stored in /tmp. You should now have all your data back in Evo.
