Why not just copy it to a thumb drive?

Thanks for the suggestions.  I'm getting closer to being able to do my
re-install, but here's another Evolution question.  I now have the
Evolution-backup.tar.gz icon on my thumb drive, but I'm not really sure
what it contains.  I've tried to take a look, but get into some long
processes which seem like they may or may not end up showing what,
exactly, I've saved.

Question 1: Would this backup (theoretically at least) contain my myriad
Evolution files and their contents? (Judging by the length of time to
back up, it might.)
Question 2: Once I've done my Ubuntu 10.04.1 install, assuming that I've
indeed saved the contents of Evolution, where would I look for guidance
in moving my files into the new version?

Thank you,

Martha

Simply because you don't like to hear it, that doesn't make it untrue.
