How to backup Contacts in Gnome / Posh ? - gab - 06-26-2021
Hello,
In order to investigate issues I want to change my linux distribution so I need to export (then import) my contacts.
I am currently using Mobian with Posh, my contacts are in the application Gnome Contacts 3.38.1.
I see no option to export a vcf file.
I would be happy with copying a configuration directory (like how you can backup ~.mozilla/firefox)
Any idea ?

Your contacts will be in ~/.local/share/evolution/
You can either copy/restore that directory if you go to another gnome based distro. And/or install evolution and do a backup from there.

Ok, thank you for this answer.
It worked for me. I had to reboot the phone for the contacts to become visible in the Contact application: it does not seem to reload the contacts automatically.
