# Archivage et restauration

You can back up your Evolution data. The backup saves your settings, mail, contacts, tasks, memos and calendars. It will be stored in a gzip-compressed tar archive file.

# Archivage

Select File Back up Evolution Data….

Choisissez un nom de fichier et le dossier dans lequel vous voulez enregistrer le fichier d'archive et cliquez sur Enregistrer.

You will be asked to close Evolution. Answer with Yes.

Note that your spam filtering settings are not included in the backup file, as these settings are not controlled by Evolution and as developers of spam filtering tools might change implementation details. If you use Bogofilter you will need to back up the hidden folder ~/.bogofilter/. If you use SpamAssassin you will need to back up the hidden folder ~/.spamassassin/.

# Restauration

Select File Restore Evolution Data….

Choisissez le fichier et cliquez sur Ouvrir.

You will be asked to close Evolution. Answer with Yes.

In the first-run assistant, you can restore Evolution data from a backup file.
