I hope someone can help me with my problem. I had a SE M600i until recently - I had it repaired under warranty - and since there is a problem with my phone, I'll get a different one (M600i aren't for sale anymore). Now, I have all my contacts, and calendar events, and files, etc. stored in a backup file, generated by the Sony Ericsson PC Suite for Smartphones.
Can I somehow open this file, to extract at least the contacts and perhaps even the calendar?
Please help me!

don't think you can open the dbk file, but .... when you do a backup you
also appear to get text files .... have a look in
C:Documents and Settings"userid"Local SettingsApplication DataSony EricssonSony Ericsson PC SuiteSyncSyncML
I just backed up my w705 and they all got updated - you never know !

In
\\Users\\_USER_\\AppData\\Local\\Sony Ericsson\\PC Suite for Smartphones\\Sync Manager
is only one .mdb file, which I opened in Access, but it was empty. Now, if I had a non-smartphone, the SyncML would contain all the info I need, ... but this is not the case.
I have only one backup file .bm3, which is basically an encrypted zip file, but darn if I can figure out the password. Can it be done? Or will I need a new M600i to get my data back? |

not so sure about a new m600i .... I know you can restore the data
to other phones with pc suite warning you that they are not the
same (restored a w610i from a k850i backup - perhaps smart phone
versions are similar ?)
Have you tried the SE developers forums to see if anyone knows the
default backup password ?

Well, I can't tell what phone I'll get, maybe it won't even be SE ... and I've tried the developers forum, but no reply yet. |

Sorry, I've had no success yet. I just got Xperia and I'm really desperate to get my data back. |
