Hello All,
I'm updating a bash script that backups all my important data. It is scheduled by cron. And now I want it to backup evolution too.
This FAQ explains how to backup evolution:
http://www.go-evolution.org/FAQ#How_can … olution.3F
The problem is that to backup Evolution > 2.22 I need to start evolution, File -> Backup Settings -> OK. Then it will generate a tar.gz file that contains everything I need. I have no idea how to automate that.
I'm not confident that using the older (<2.22) backup method will backup everything (for future releases too).
Does anybody knows how to start the backup operation from terminal?
Thank you,
Germano

Thank you,
The command, for who is interested is:
/usr/lib/evolution/2.30/evolution-backup --backup %filename
where %filename usually is evolution-backup.tar.gz
And it works perfectly. Shuts down evolution before operation too.
