You can use msynctool (cli) or KitchenSync (gui). Those are the main ones
that I'm familiar with, and I would recommend starting with msynctool
first, just because the configuration dialogs in KitchenSync are a little
funky with certain plugins.
Syncing goes something like this (once you have everything installed).
Preparation:
Make backups of your data!
- use barrybackup for your device
- backup evolution too, see:
http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/12/03/how-to-backup-evolution/
Configuration:
msynctool --addgroup EvoBarry
msynctool --addmember EvoBarry evo2-sync
msynctool --addmember EvoBarry barry-sync
msynctool --configure EvoBarry 1
msynctool --configure EvoBarry 2
msynctool --showgroup EvoBarry
Each configure command will bring up an editor, where you can enter
the configuration details for each plugin. For Barry, a default template
will appear, containing comments and the single config line you need
to setup. This line contains the PIN number of your device, and a
1 or 0 depending if you want to sync contacts and calendar items.
Normally you use <PIN> 1 1
For Evolution, it is an XML configuration, pointing to your home directory,
where evolution stores its local databases. For example, on my system,
I use:
<config>
<address_path>file:///home/cdfrey/.evolution/addressbook/local/system</address_path>
<calendar_path>file:///home/cdfrey/.evolution/calendar/local/system</calendar_path>
<tasks_path>file:///home/cdfrey/.evolution/tasks/local/system</tasks_path>
</config>
Actual syncing:
Make sure that evolution is not running.
evolution --force-shutdown
Run the sync.
msynctool --sync EvoBarry
