Isn't that what "Backup Settings" in the "File" menu does?

Not sure if Evolution has anything built in, but, you can 'always' backup a
directory to restore later, ie '.evolution'.

I use rsync + cron to backup stuff.

On debian at least, this is a plugin. Not sure what package its in.
Don't think this is built into evolution itself.

Ah, I didn't realise it wasn't built in.

Anyway, all it seems to do is zip up ~/.evolution and ~/.camel_certs
(which a normal backup of a home directory would include anyway ;-)

The "File -> Backup Settings / Restore Settings" option does exactly
what you need.

It's been there for several years now. I've used it several times.

Just 2 weeks ago I changed from Lenny to Squeeze and all my Evolution
stuff migrated along with me:

on original system:
--> File/Backup Settings

on new system:
--> File/Restore Settings

It works just fine.

cheers
