What is the safest way to test an evolution backup file?
Asked by
Nick Praed
I tried once before to save all my email data using "File - Back Up Evolution Data" onto a zip drive. When I came to try to restore this the file it had produced had nothing in it, so I ended up losing about a years worth of mail, with all the enclosures. I have now tried the backup procedure again and see that the .gz file on the flash drive is a respectable 1.4Gb, but am still suspicious and (I think understandably) reluctant to blow all my live mails away so I can see if I can restore them ans see if the process now works. Any suggestions how I can test this backup non-disruptively?
