PITA.

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.

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

I have it, and have added no plugins. (Lenny)
