Personally, I don't back up Evolution explicitly. I do back up my home directory every night (using rsnapshot) but this almost always happens while my session is logged in. I have been doing this for years and have never lost an email. I probably also helps that my accounts are IMAP-based, so what's in the local Evolution store is mostly cached information. So it's not clear to me that stopping Evo during a backup is actually necessary. I've sometimes had to reset my machine without a clean shutdown, and again have never lost an email due to this. It would be interesting to hear Milan's thoughts on this topic. Just how much of Evo's processing is essentially transactional? poc _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
