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

    johanhudik : you can try new version of NbuExplorer (1.8). It should be capable of extracting file C:\System\Data\Contacts.cdb ...it is the file with contacts, but its internal format is still not easy to understand :( New version also tries to parse another nbu section with contacts (with output to log window only at this time), but I am afraid this section will probably not be present in backups from symbian phones. Anyway you can try...
