I hadn't heard of Lucky Backup but its web page says that development is "virtually frozen". It's dated 2009.

There are many other options. 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
