Well, as long as you removed all corrupted files that are backed up,
there should be no difference.

The easiest way of backing up you entire local folders and restoring
them after the unlikely worst case:


Back up evolution/local:

$ cd ~/evolution
$ tar czvf backup-local.tar.gz local


Restore the local files, after manually removing the corrupted ones:

$ cd ~/evolution
$ rm -Rf local
$ tar xzvf backup-local.tar.gz


For the sake of paranoia, copy the backup-local.tar.gz to another hard
disk, another machine (preferably on a normally not mounted partition ;)
or burn it on CD...
