Backup Evolution Mail

You can create a backup by clicking File->Backup settings... in Evolution this will save you data and configuration.

Manually you should run evolution –force-shutdown first to make sure evolution is not using the files.

Then you can Backup:

• ~/.evolution (this saves your data)
• ~/.gconf/apps/evolution (and this your configuration)

The easiest way to backup all of your Evolution is to backup the (hidden) evolution folder in your home directory:

~/.evolution
