           Summary: Needs backup and restore option like Evolution has
           Product: kontact
           Version: 4.3.2
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: roland at logikalsolutions.com


Version:           4.3.2 (using KDE 4.3.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

This is a feature request, but one which has been sorely needed since the
package was introduced.  I realize the powers that be are dead set on some kind
of "sync" software using a server, but to date, that path has born no usable
fruit.  I just spent 3 hours today trying to get a new install on my laptop to
sync KDEPIM with desktop.  I gave up.

Why cannot we not have a complete backup utility like Evolution has.  It could
back all of its data up into some format it understands.  We can then copy this
one file over to the other device and do a "restore from backup"?

I really don't want to go through the pain of converting to Evolution.  There
is no clean migration tool and Evolution has let me down many times before. 
The kdepim is much more natural in its current version so I would like to find
a good method of sticking with it and transferring things to my laptop for
business travel.
