Hi everyone,

I was just wondering if there was anyway of opening the backup files from Nokia PC Suite which is the .nbu file? Such as any programs? I actually can't restore my calender entries onto my 6300 which was backed up from my 6230 using the latest PC Suite (/discussions/board/message?board.id=pcsuite&message.id=13590)

I'd ust like to read the calender entries so i can just manually type them into my phone.

Any help would be great!

thanks :D

    Well now with the nbu explorer we can extract the contacts to Vcard format in windows..

    Now the issue with me.

    On my E51 , under each contact i have multiple numbers with the same title

    Eg.  

    SAM

    Home: 12345

    Home: 677889

    and when i export it to windows vcard format .. only Home:12345 is saved and the other one is not..

    As i understand due to duplicate entries of only title it takes only the 1st one.

    but in NBU explorer i can see both the numbers..

    how do i extract this to a excel file so that i can have all the numbers and just change the coloumn headding ?

    Ive got 1330 contacts and under each contact atleast 3 - 4 numbers .. I dont want to spend time going to each contact and changing the title headding from Home to Home1 or home2 ..which will fix the issue but will consume a whole load of my time.

    Please help.

    already talked with author of NBU Explorer and I know now how hard it is to make it possible for Symbian phones even...

    I have got another idea - somehow change the PC Suite to backup that one file from one phone to restore it to another phone. :D but i can't make it possible.

    If someone wanna know the reason why it is so important for me, contact me somehow personally to not make it public. Thanks.

    Nokia didn't open and document on .nbu format. It's much harder to write a full featured .nbu editor than a reader.
