The built-in "Back up Evolution data" function is *not* designed for regular backups. It's purpose is to enable you to move your Evo installation to another machine, or to preserve it across operating system updates. There are much better ways to backup Evo on a regular basis, including any of the usual backup solutions available on Linux. I've proposed before now that the menu item name should be changed to avoid this confusion. poc _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
