OK, I must have misunderstood what was being said. I thought I had seen backup/restore mentioned in conjunction with upgrading, and I can find this: http://library.gnome.org/users/evolution/stable/index.html.en#data-migration-and-sync ...that appears to link backup/restore with migrating and synch'ing (which is what I'm doing)...but I don't think it was that that I read before. I thought I had read it in some FAQ somewhere. I would have thought that a specific Evolution backup/restore is a good thing. It gives a single file that can be ported, rather than having to know where Evolution stores it's data.
