Currently my /evolution folder is around 1.0 GIG or so.. I want to back
it up and restore after I format my machine..
just making sure I am doing things right.. Looking through the lists I
see tips on Backup and restore.. But want to be sure I have it all right
I was going to preform:
########################################
#BACKUP:
########################################
evolution --force-shutdown
cd ~
find evolution -name "mbox.*" -exec rm -f '{}' ';'
tar -cvzf /home/charles/evolution.tar.gz evolution .gconf/apps/evolution
########################################
#RESTORE:
########################################
evolution --force-shutdown
cd ~
mv evolution evolution.old
mv .gconf/apps/evolution evolution.gconf.old
tar -xvzf /home/charles/restoreme/evolution.tar.gz
I am also trying to step thogh the find line to understand what it is
doing..
find evolution -name "mbox.*" -exec rm -f '{}' ';'
(Finding mbox.* files in the evolution folders and deleting them? not
really sure how to read that) Is it ok to delete those?)
Thanks again everyone..
