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

    The application data file (AppData) is a hidden folder. So when you get to the C:\Users(username) folder, right click and go to properties. Un-tick read only (so both hidden and read only are un-ticked) and click apply. It may take a couple of minutes but the the attributes should be applied and allow you to see the AppData file.
