Use rsync to sync your user evolution directory to the hard drive - but the first sync will take a long time. There really should be a way to do it from within evolution. That's a good feature request. another option is to use tar - but tar will take a long time because of the file database (LOTS of tiny files). rsync will too the first time, but should be better performance wise with subsequent syncs.
