Bug is still an issue here. I have found a work around for those who still have issues.
Extract the tar.gz file into a folder foo. Hit ctrl+h to show hidden files/folders Open the .evolution folder. Copy the backup-restore-gconf.xml into foo. highlight the 3 item now in the foo folder. Right click and select compress. Call it evolution-backup.tar.gz. Now direct evolution to the foo folder and the new evolution-backup.tar.gz file. Magically it now works. -- Evolution not restoring data from backup archive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/408603 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
