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

    I recently backed up data from my Nokia N97 mini onto a computer via Nokia Suite. I now have a different computer and so I installed Nokia Suite in this new computer .  Now I want to put the messages into my new computer's Nokia Suite . I do not have my phone any more as I have lost it . Plus there is some problem in the old system . The only thing which I am left with is the .nbu file . So how do I transfer this .nbu file onto the new Nokia Suite ?????

    You can put them anywhere on your computer... when selecting restore from the backup menu in Nokia Suite you have the option to browse for your .nbu files.

    Thank you for the program you have provided at  http://sourceforge.net/projects/nbuexplorer

     I have just used the Nbu Explorer to successsfully open a back up file kept on an external hard drive to access contacts and memos from my old N9 phone (which had a malfunction at the same time as my laptop, isn't that always the way!) 

    Can these recovered files be imported to my new windows phone -Lumia 800 ?

    Also, my calender does not seem to appear in the back up - will I find it anywhere?

    (I did not have a calender set up on my previous laptop so perhaps it wasn't synced)
