Using the "backup" option in evolution produces a tar ball of all my emails and settings, but the "restore" option fails to import this in any meaningful way.  There are no errors, but a useless evolution instance is created.
>How-To-Repeat:
backup your evolution settings/emails via the File->Backup Evolution Settings option.
>Fix:
cp -r the original directory that you thought was backed up into the new location.

e.g.

~/.local/share/evolution
