Thnaks Special boy!! But sorry I could not do it.See my original c drive has folder contacts.cdb and backup ( on my PC) also has folder contacts.cdb. But when i try to replace this to C drive it says some error.
Do u know what seems the problem or maybe I am not doing the tright way.

Thanks :roll:

Usualy you get a error message when that database you want to replace is in use.

Try to restore from previous backup.

Well... Here's a little "OLD SKOOL" trick:

1. make a "Backup to memorycard" in File Manager menu...
2. go into the "backup" folder in your memorycard and delete the item that u dont want to restore...
3. now replace the "contacts.cdb" in the "backup" folder with the one u want to restore...
4. Finally... do the "Restore from memorycard" in File Manager menu...

😉 Now u will have the desired contacts installed...

USE MULTI READER WRITER

Every 9210 user must have one.

Second method.

copy database.cdb to C drive with
reading it on your mmc from backup and paste this in c/system/data/contacts.cdb

With this method you do not have to restore

What I do:
I stand ready to copy the file.
I use FileManager to start a backup session
It will state "Closing apps"
once it said this you can copy the contacts.db to where ever you want.(I used the standard 9210 from desktop browser (the one included in pcsuite))
After this just stop the backup and delete the files it already backedup

Thankyou Dazler,Willem,Nosfratu and the special boy to help me solve this problem. I really appreciate.

Thanks
