I have an old data file which I restored because somehow in my latest backup my address book got corrupted and it lost my contacts and will not add new ones.
But when I restore the old file it over-writes the new file and I don't have my latest emails, about a years worth, any ideas?
I see there is an import option but it says I do not have the import filters installed?? I have no idea which library to add for that..
This a fresh install of Betsy, yesterday, the data is from my old lmde1 up8 installation.
Thanks,
Dwaine

Re: Evolution Email - Restore backup problem
Hi,
I hope you backed up your current mail first. Assuming this, the evolution.backup file is merely a .tar.gz file which you can extract and browse. You probably want to extract just the .local/share/evolution/addressbook/system/contacts.db file and put it into the same subdirectory of your home.
However, if Evolution was upgraded since you did the old backup, it may not work as simply.
