I think this problem is not strictly limited to restoring backups but happens in general when upgrading from an earlier version of evolution (e.g. the one in Precise) to 3.6.0 (in Quantal).
While calendar and contact data is still there, account information somehow got lost during the upgrade. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evolution in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1055973 Title: Evolution 3.6.0 - Restore from backup fails Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Just installed Evolution 3.6.0 on Ubuntu and (with the first-run dialog) restored my data from a backup (made with Evolution 3.4, Debian). Evolution restarted and presented me with the firts-run dialog again (and kept doing that). I manually entered an email account to proceed to the program: My contacts were restored, only 1 of 3 calendars ('personal') was restored and only the manually entered email account was present (but emails are restored). So it appears that email data are restored, but not the accounts. And only the default 'personal' calendar is restored, not additional calendars.
