Like many good ideas, I'd say that this one has very little chance of becoming standard practice, given that each Linux app decides for itself where to put its config files
As I told Ed, there is more than config files in .evolution and .thunderbird: there is data!
More to the point, my answer to the OP would be "use a real backup solution".
What would you suggest as a "real backup solution"? By this, i mean something a Mac user could use eyes closed, given that defining a solution that all dummies can use will in no way curtail the options an experimented user has.

Why are we talking about Macs anyway? This is a Fedora list.
Good question! Maybe I was talking about a solution the typical Mac user could use with Linux? It never crossed your mind? Really?
