syncevolution --restore

I borked my google calendar with syncevolution and now i want to restore from backup, but it drives me crazy!!

Code:

[nemo@localhost calendar]$ syncevolution --restore /home/nemo/.cache/syncevolution/google_+calendar@google_+calendar-2014-02-05-13-50/  --before

ends with

Code:

No configuration name specified

What is the configuration name and where to find it? :confused:

Re: syncevolution --restore

perhaps in ~/.config/syncevolution/ folder?

There is nothing useful there just one config.ini :

Code:

# the peer which is used by default in some frontends, like the sync-UI

# defaultPeer =



# Explicitly selects a certain safe password storage.

# Depending on how SyncEvolution was compiled and installed

# the following values are possible:

#

# GNOME

#   GNOME Keyring

# KDE

#   KWallet

# yes/true/1

#   pick one automatically

# no/false/0

#   store passwords in SyncEvolution config files

#

# If unset, the default is to pick one automatically if support

# for any kind of password storage was enabled and use the config files

# otherwise. When choosing automatically, GNOME keyring is tried

# first because distinguishing between KDE and GNOME sessions

# automatically is tricky.

#

# Note that using this option applies to *all* passwords in

# a configuration and that the --keyring command line option

# is merely an alias for setting the global property, so setting

# a single password as follows sets both `keyring` and

# `proxyPasswords`, and also moves the other passwords into the

# keyring, even if they were not stored there already:

#

#      --keyring --configure proxyPassword=foo

#

# When passwords were stored in a safe storage, their value is set to a single

# hyphen ("-") in the configuration. This means that when running a

# synchronization without using the storage, the password has to be

# entered interactively. The --print-config output always shows "-" instead

# of retrieving the password from the keyring.

# keyring = no

Re: syncevolution --restore

you need to tell it the config to use. I never used this tool, but possibly a command like

syncevolution --print-configs

can give you some helps.

Re: syncevolution --restore

Found it, the proper command is :

Code:

syncevolution --restore /home/nemo/.cache/syncevolution/google_+calendar@google_+calendar-2014-02-05-13-50/  --before google-calendar calendar

Yes and also this:

Code:

syncevolution --print-sessions google-calendar

;)

Thank you nieldk!
