Still nothing in the official help about how to restore Evolution from an rsync / bup / rdiff-backup / duplicity mirror. Which is how 99% of everyone actually backs up their system. Actual example: Going from a crashed and dead older CentOS 5 system to a brand new Fedora 21. Which magic directories and settings need to be yanked out of the backup images? Without necessarily copying *everything*, because the only things that you want right now are email, not the email plus 200 GB of other junk. With Thunderbird the answer is $HOME/.thunderbird. Suuuper easy. With Evolution getting the email back is fortunately pretty easy. But you're better off writing down account settings and vfolder searches on note paper. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
