Run this command not only before overwriting. Close Evolution and run
this command on the machine you copy modified files *from*.

This is necessary, as the background tasks may not have synced recent
changes to disk -- which will lead to data corruption.


In short: Run that command on both machines before doing anything with
those data files.
