[Bug 482784] [NEW] [karmic] kdepim needs backup and restore option like Evolution has so we can sync between laptop and workstation

[seasoned_geek]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdepim

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.
