Hi!

I've not yet found the solution to this problem:
- done a backup on mmc on a 6680 (obtained backup.arc file), but not possible to restore it on a N70 (the option "restore" is no longer visible).
- restoring mms and contacts is not a problem (mms already on mmc and used Contact Transfer for the phonebook), but i'd like also to get back all my PIM and calendar entry!
Tried to parse the backup.arc file, and obtained 494 different files, and find the one that seems to contain all the calendar entries: which file do i have to overwrite on the N70? Which file in the old S60 family contains the PIM / calendar entries?

Is there any other known way to do the dirty job?
I've not installed PCsuite (too heavy and slow, and no portable version existing), and not yet found a cracked version of Nokia from Nokisoft to get the files from the backup...

Any help will be welcome!
Thanks in advance,

MArco.

ok to do it manually from 6680 to n70 try below trick go to
c/system/data
you will see files with the name
Calender
Notepad.dat
Bookmarks1.db
copy them and paste in same folder of n70.You will get the data of calender,notepad and default webbrowser's bookmarks back.
Also try when u done backup use xplore and tick
show hidden files
show system files/folders
get the exact location of ur backup prc file and permissions.Now go to n70 and see if any prc file available at the same location.If no then create folder according to path which got from n6680 and paste file there you will see restore option now.Try both.

Thanks a lot Zedi!

I've copied manually the Calendar file, and it fully worked!

Now i have back all my entries! It's wonderful!
By the way... Do u know any good enough alternative to the Nokia's pcsuite? It's too heavy and overload the windows system.... Any whisper of a light of portable version?
