~/evolution/local/Contacts/addressbook.db
~/evolution/local/Calendar/calendar.ics
~/evolution/local/Tasks/tasks.ics
Those are the default ones. If you do have multiple Contact Folders
(etc.) it is probably the easiest way to sync all those directories
recursively.

Yep, there are background tasks running for Calendar and Contacts.
Before overwriting those files, shutdown Evolution entirely:
$ evolution --force-shutdown
After doing this you can overwrite that files. Running Evolution again
will then get the changes.
