Re: [Evolution] shifting Evolution from one computer to another

        Hello,
I guess your /media/IOMEGA either doesn't support so long file names, or
has troubles with the name itself, like with ':' character in the name.
Try to zip or tar-gz your $HOME/.evolution (and those other gconf
directories) into one package and move this package on the IOMEGA
instead.
        Bye,
        Milan

Hi all,

I am using Ubuntu 7.10 and am having problems shifting Evolution from
one computer to another. I am following the procedure given in the
FAQs: 
http://www.go-evolution.org/FAQ#How_can_I_transfer_all_my_Evolution_data_between_computers.2Fto_a_new_partition.2Fto_a_new_computer.3F


I first did: "evolution --force-shutdown" and got this:

Shutting down evolution-exchange-storage (Evolution Calendar Exchange
backend / Evolution Addressbook Exchange backend)
Shutting down evolution-data-server-1.12 (Evolution Calendar file and
webcal backend / Evolution Addressbook file backend) 
Shutting down evolution-alarm-notify (Evolution Calendar alarm
notification service)


Now, when I try to copy the contents from the folder
$HOME/.evolution/ 

 sudo cp -r $HOME/.evolution/ /media/IOMEGA/EVOLUTION/ 

I get the following error messages:
