Im working with the evolution mail client, and I have been migrating some machines. So in order to do so, the next script is runned: #!/bin/bash mkdir -p ~/path_to_backupdir/mail-backup mkdir -p ~/path_to_backupdir/mail-backup/config mkdir -p ~/path_to_backupdir/mail-backup/local cp -r ~/.config/evolution/ ~/path_to_backupdir/mail-backup/config/ cp -r ~/.local/share/evolution/ ~/path_to_backupdir/mail-backup/local/ tar -czvf mail-backup.tar.gz ~/path_to_backupdir/mail-backup/ That provides a mail-backup.tar.gz file, and either using the builtin method in the gui of File>Restaurate Evolution Data or the backup script #!/bin/bash tar xvf mail-backup.tar.gz cd mail-backup/ cd config mv evolution/ ~/.config/ cd .. cd local mv evolution/ ~/.local/share/ Evolution does nothing, or simply says "back_up_file" is not valid, checked the permissions on the back up files and directories and are the same; when looking at the terminal it says something about a mismatch but I don't know how to interpret it: **evolution-backup-Message: 20:23:35.948: First result 0 evolution-backup-Message: 20:24:09.583: Second result 256 module-backup-restore-Message: 20:24:09.590: Sanity check result 1:1 256 **
