What media are you planning to back up to? Let's assume you have some
disk partition or something already mounted on your system. Then all you
have to do is this:

evolution --force-shutdown
tar -cjvf /path/to/backup/mountpoint/evolution.tar.bz2 ~/evolution ~/.gconf/apps/evolution

To restore, do this:

evolution --force-shutdown
cd ~
tar -xjvf /path/tp/backup/mountpoint/evolution.tar.bz2

If you are planning on backing up to CD-R(W) then reply and tell you the
extra steps you need to take.n

You're welcome.
