Yeah, you'd just copy or zip up files in $HOME/.local/share/evolution $HOME/.config/evolution and optionally $HOME/.cache/evolution It's already alluded to in: http://library.gnome.org/users/evolution/stable/data-storage.html.en But we could put more explicit instructions in: http://library.gnome.org/users/evolution/stable/backup-restore.html.en Unfortunately it's difficult to extract Evolution-specific settings from dconf's on-disk binary blob, but we don't keep anything real critical in dconf nowadays; mostly just one-click preference values. Currently even the Backup tool leaves them behind.
