Where Does GNOME Calendar Store Data?

GNOME Calendar dconf prefs with evolution backend data dirs.

Last updated

Calendar keeps prefs in dconf under its lowercase schema. Views, sizes and weather flags live there. Actual calendars belong to evolution-data-server.

Backend data, sources and cache each get their own tree. That frontend split decides every backup plan. Keep dconf plus backend together.

Where GNOME Calendar stores this, by platform

Linux
~/.local/share/evolution/calendar

Prefs in lowercase dconf schema with views and weather flags. Calendars in the evolution backend data tree with sources and cache beside. No own ics store.

Frequently asked questions

How do I back up GNOME Calendar?

Copy the evolution data and config trees plus a dconf dump with the app closed. Calendars live in the backend, prefs in dconf. Restoring means putting all of it back together.

Where is the ics store?

No own ics store exists. The app frontends evolution-data-server with calendars under its data tree. Sources config and cache branch beside. Target the backend for data.
