PC Suite cannot restore data to Nokia 5800

2 replies · 5,678 views · Started 31 March 2009

Hi,

I've backed up my data (Nokia 5800 XpressMusic) with PC Suite (version 7.1.18.0) but when i try to restore it, it says "This file does not contain any data to be restored". If i look in the file, the data is backed up.

Anybody has an idea?

Thanks in advance!

Hi ebizman,

Could you please install an application called Noki, through which you can check the contents of your backup file. Its a third party application and not from Nokia.

If your area of concern is restoring contacts, you can search in google for an application called Nokia Contact transfer.exe

If your .nbu file is detected by any of your above application, it has backup-ed your contents without any issues :icon14:

From other forum i came to knew that you can view the files are in:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Nokia\MPDB40
. . and the file names are :

CalendarDB.mdb
ContactsDB.mdb
Contacts2DB.mdb
SettingsDB.mdb
SmsDB.mdb

These can be opened in MS Access.

@cricfancy - Thanks for the tip about Noki - I could have done with this a while ago whilst tring to restore my wife's E65!

Hey Ho! Better late than never - at least I'll have it for next time..
