When the plugin isn't available, you can manually backup evolution: Step 1: Shutdown evolution and gconftool-2:
$gconftool-2 --shutdown $evolution --force-shutdown Step 2: Create an archive with the data and configuration files: Note: To completely save the Evolution data and configuration, you need to save the following directories/files: ~/.evolution/ ~/.gconf/apps/evolution/ ~/.gnome2_private/Evolution The following command will take care of these $cd $tar -cvzf evolution-backup.tar.gz .evolution .gconf/apps/evolution .gnome2_private/Evolution Now the file evolution-backup.tar.gz is the backup you want. You can move the data over to another Ubuntu computer if you like, and just un-tar the archive while in your /home/username/ directory to restore it. To restore, use: $gconftool-2 --shutdown $evolution --force-shutdown $tar xzf evolution-backup.tar.gz $gconftool-2 --unload evolution_setting.xml $gconftool-2 --load evolution_setting.xml http://tuxtraining.com/2008/10/18/how-to-backup-evolution -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
