Evolution backup – ANGOL/ENGLISH
I found on the blog of Shane Fagan an interesting script to back up Evolution from a cron script. He had some hard coded data, and i rewrote it to use variables, but we could not find a solution to post my version in the comments.
So i just publist it here, with a backlink to his page:
http://shanefagan.com/2009/09/29/evolution-backup/
USERNAME=gna
BACKUP_FILE=/home/${USERNAME}/Ubuntu One/evolution-backup.tar.gz
if [ -f "${BACKUP_FILE}" ]
then
rm “${BACKUP_FILE}”
fievolution –force-shutdown
rm /home/${USERNAME}/.evolution/.running
gconftool-2 –dump /apps/evolution > /home/$USERNAME/.evolution/backup-restore-gconf.xml
cd /home/${USERNAME} && tar czhf “${BACKUP_FILE}” .evolution `if [ -d .camel_certs ]; then echo .camel_certs; fi`
evolution &
disown
I have to note, that this way Evolution gets started after the backup is done, even if you have scheduled it to run at night. I think the intention was to start the backgroud processes that were stopped with evolution –force-shutdown.
