Oops, I missed this in the previous email.
The backup/restore built in the Evolution is very simple and it is done
by a separate binary, which takes some arguments. The binary is
evolution-backup, located in
/usr/libexec/evolution/
in my Fedora. Evolution calls it as:
/usr/libexec/evolution/evolution-backup --gui --backup $FILENAME
It closes the evolution before the backup is run, thus be careful. Also
use --help to get more information about the possible arguments.
In any case, as was said in this thread, the backup/restore is meant to
be used rather for movements of the data between computers, or to have
a backup before update, it's not meant to be used for regular backups.
There are better applications for it.
Bye,
Milan
