Ugh.

Anyway... on openSUSE 12.1 x86_64 Evolution 3.2.1 backup succeeds
without incident for me.  I have local folders, IMAP acocunts, CalDAV
accounts, WebDAV address books, local address books, CalDAV tasks lists,
local task lists, and local and CalDAV memo folders.

If you run evolution from the command line and try the backup does it
spit out any more informative error messages.
