A bad thing: if you aren't familiar with syncevolution's quirky naming scheme, you might think you should run "--sync refresh-from-server" on the laptop. After all, the phone appears in the list of servers. This of course deletes all of your data, since the phone is the client, even if it is listed under "servers"... Good: this made me learn about the automatic syncevolution backups and how to restore. This works very well. I had no idea I had such good backups! After syncing with the laptop, going back to the desktop works, but forces a slow sync. Repeating this seems to indicate that it always needs to slow sync calendar+todo, even if there are no changes. Is this expected behavior? Ross -- Ross Vandegrift <[email protected]>
