        Hi,
it's created by the backup/restore only.

Not really. I guess you receive reminders, but you do not dismiss them,
at least not within the evolution-alarm-notify. Some desktop
environments (like the GNOME) make it hard to spot pending reminders
due to hidden/non-existent system tray.

When you set in Evolution Edit->Preferences->Calendar and Tasks->
Reminders->Display Reminders window with notifications, then the next
time a reminder will trigger you'll see a window, which, I guess, will
be full of past events.

There is filled a bug for it:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution-data-server/-/issues/234
The used workaround there is something I do not like, but it's at least
something which will cleanup the setting for users whom do not have
better choice (and whom do not know about the growing setting).

        Bye,
