I'm having trouble trying to retrieve address-books after migrating from
Fedora Core 3 (Evolution 2.0.2) to Debian Sarge (2.0.4).
For all of the rest of the data, a simple copy/paste of the items to the
new /.evolution directory was enough. For the addressbook, the main one
("system") was also immediately accessible too. But not the "sub"
addressbooks I had created (which are filed
in /.evolution/addressbook/local with a code number).
Evolution stores your data in $HOME/.evolution/, your account settings
in $HOME/.gconf/apps/evolution and your passwords in
$HOME/.gnome2_private/Evolution. SSL Certificates are stored in
$HOME/.camel_certs.
hmm... so did you also copy your gconf account settings?
okay, now how to transfer all Evolution data between computers/to a new
partition/to a new computer:
Make sure you haven't started Evolution on the new computer/new
partition yet. First of all, shut Evolution and its background processes
(Evolution Data Server, Evolution Alarm Notify) completly down by using
evolution --force-shutdown
Then copy the contents of $HOME/.evolution/,
$HOME/.gnome2_private/Evolution, $HOME/.camel_certs.
Then dump your Evolution settings stored in GConf by running
"gconftool-2 --dump /apps/evolution > some-file.xml" where
"some-file.xml" is the name of the file the information is written to.
On the new computer, make sure you are not running gconf (by "ps ax |
grep gconf" for example; you normally have to leave gnome for that and
then run "gconftool-2 --shutdown"). Then import those settings by
running "gconftool-2 --load some-file.xml" and log in to gnome again.
in general: backups can save your day. :-)
cheers,
andre
