[Evolution] Evolution backup problem

[Bob Goodson <bargeosprey yahoo co uk>]

Hi,


Sorry about poor info, I'll try to put that right here.


I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic koala ) and Evolution 2.28.1.


I can go to File > Backup settings and create >>evolution-backup.tar.gz.
<<< on my external hard drive, which as you say shows up on âPlacesâ.


But when I want to test the backup I go to File > Restore Settings, 


I get to evolutionbackup.tar.gz on the hard drive but can do nothing
with it!


If I double click it I get â Please select a valid backup file to
restoreâ


If I right click it I get the chance to show hidden files


If I click âopenâ I get the same message â Please select a valid backup
file to restoreâ


If I backup to a USB stick using the same procedure it all works as per
the instructions in the Evolution guide and restores OK.
