From now, before a backup I dump the evo's dconf setting into a text file for restore it Question: It's possible extract with dconf (or gsettings) the evolution's data directly from the backup folders, for example from /mnt/bk/home/user/.config/dconf/ if I do not have dump it before?

Ok, I agree, I newer restore ~/.cache/mozilla/ but only ~/.mozilla/firefox/ Many thanks -- Dario Lesca (inviato dal mio Linux Fedora 22 con Gnome 3.16) _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
