I don't recall where I got this from, so I shouldn't get the credit for it:

Backup:

gconftool-2 --shutdown
evolution --force-shutdown
gconftool-2 --dump /apps/evolution > ~/$SETTINGS
tar cfz $SAVE_FILENAME -C ~ --exclude=.evolution/mail/imap .evolution
.gconf/apps/evolution .gnome2_private/Evolution

Restore:

gconftool-2 --shutdown
evolution --force-shutdown
tar xf $SAVE_FILENAME
gconftool-2 --unload $SETTINGS
gconftool-2 --load $SETTINGS
