Re: [opensuse] How to backup Evolution?

So, the question is, precisely which directories and files must I
back up
in order to have a full backup of my Evolution (while, hopefully,
leaving
behind whatever has become poisoned)?


This is HowTo move Evolution data and setup from one computer to
other
one or to back it up before do a bare metal installation of a new
version of the OS.

1. Force shutdown.

In the Old computer:

$ evolution --force-shutdown

In the New One:

$ evolution --force-shutdown

$ gconftool-2 --shutdown

2. Copy 2 folder from the old to the new.


Copy the folders from old to new, you must have all files from the
~/.evolution

and

~/.gconf/apps/evolution

directories.

If you use the same username then it is all what you need. If you
change
the user's name things a far more complicated. Just post it and I
will
help you. The easy one is to use the same user's name.
