Patrick,
I had read that section - but I couldn't see  that that covered moving
between releases of Evolution. I am moving between say, FC4 and FC12 or
FC9 and FC12 and my concern was that maybe the underlying 'files' and
their structure may have changed between the releases - so just backing
up and restoring wouldn't work. But if that is the recommended way, then
that's fine.
