Hey, all,
Is there a clean and simple way to back up Evolution settings?
Everything from files and folders to account settings and passwords.
This is the one thing that gets very messy when I have to reinstall my
system (for RC5, for example), and it's going to happen again on FC3
release.
If I could just back up/restore this one app cleanly, everything else
falls into place easily. Is there any such application (or even set of
instructions)?
tar zcvf evol-back.tar.gz ~/.evolution
The same idea works great for Mozilla Mail too. Tar up the important
stuff, scp it to another machine, install the newest Fedora release, scp
the tarball back, untar, and you are ready to roll. Thanks to the person
on this list who suggested it to me.
