I wouldn't encourage people to use this for regular backups, such as nightly cron job, as it copies everything, not just changes. As we've discussed before, it's really aimed at moving your account data to a new installation. I just use my normal nightly system backup. There's no need for a separate utility for Evolution. 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
