Backup and restore Evolution

“How many times have you migrated from one Linux box to another,
only to say goodbye to your email and knowing you were going to
have to set your email client up all over again. Oh sure you could
tar up that ~/.evolution directory and hope that it worked. Most
likely you would wind up with a train wreck of a folder system and
you would still wind up having to re-configure all of those email
accounts and calendars all over again.

“It doesn’t have to be that way. The Evolution groupware suite
has a built in backup/restore system that will amaze you how how
well (and quickly) it works. We’re not talking about the time
consuming back up and restore of Outlook PST files. It doesn’t
matter how large your Evolution folders have grown, this
backup/restore is fast and painless. And in this article, I am
going to show you just how easy this task is.”
