Sorry, I was looking for where those settings were backed up but
couldn't find it.  I thought it would be under .config but I now see
that it's under .local/share.

Is backup-restore-gsettings.ini only generated when you create a backup
or is it part of the usual operation of Evolution?  Also, mine is over
2Mb, is that normal?
