Backing Up and Restoring Evolution

With the Backup and Restore plugin enabled, you can successfully back up Evolution to your machine and restore it whenever it is required. The backup saves your Evolution settings, mail, contacts, tasks, memos, and calendars and creates an archive.

  1. Select File > Backup Settings to select the folder where you want to save the backup.

    The backup file to be created will be called evolution-backup.tar.gz.

    Before the backup process starts a warning will be shown asking you to close Evolution.

  2. Select Restart Evolution to restart Evolution immediately after finishing the backup.

  3. Click Yes to close Evolution and start the backup.

Оваа опција ги враќа Вашите поставувања од архивата.

  1. Select File > Restore Settings to open the available evolution-backup.tar.gz files.

  2. Select the file and click Open.

    Before the process starts, a pop-up window appears and asks you to close Evolution. Close all the windows and then click Restore in the pop-up window.

    If you are creating your first account via the Startup Wizard, you can use the option to restore from the archive if it is available locally.

    Evolution ќе изврши авто-рестарт по завршувањето на процесот.
