# Go to user homedir
clear
cd /home/$USER
# Shutdown application
gconftool-2 --shutdown
evolution --force-shutdown
# Backup evolution setting
gconftool-2 --dump /apps/evolution > evolution_setting.xml
# Make a restore help file
/bin/cat > RESTORE_README.txt <<FINCONFIG
#!/bin/bash
# To restore your evolution profil, after extract this archive file,
# use the following command :
cd /home/$USER
gconftool-2 --shutdown
evolution --force-shutdown
tar jxvf bkp-evolution-$DATE.tar.bz2
gconftool-2 --unload evolution_setting.xml
gconftool-2 --load evolution_setting.xml
rm -f evolution_setting.xml
FINCONFIG
# Compress and backup
nice -n +10 tar cvfj bkp-evolution-$DATE.tar.bz2 --exclude=.evolution/mail/imap .evolution .gconf/apps/evolution .gnome2_private/Evolution .camel_certs evolution_setting.xml RESTORE_README.txt
# Remove tmp files
rm -f evolution_setting.xml
rm -f RESTORE_README.txt
# Change owner (for crontab use)
chown $USER:$GROUP bkp-evolution-$DATE.tar.bz2
# Display final backup message
echo "Evolution backup is finish !"
Mine modified backup script with restore script and notification for the user:

Copy and paste into file called: bkp_evolution
