Reading backup file using PC

[Amal]

I bought an Xperia S and because of some hardware problem i sent it to the SONY service center.

I want to recover some of my important contacts from the back up file (.dbk)

i changed the extention to .rar & tried but couldnt open the file name "fullbackupdata" (with no extention) in the contacts folder

please someone help...........

What if you run the restore in PCC and just select contacts? Do you end up with any error?

[Amal]

i don't have the phone with me at the moment

i just want to extract my contacts to the PC in a readable format

Please someone help!

Why no one responding???

You can try to rename the file extension to .zip instead and check for a file called contacts.vcf.

Make sure that you have enabled view hidden files and folders.

Tried That also..

but couldn't find the file

[Amal]

Thanks for the response

I expected more from SONY support service

But anyways if there is no way to recover my contacts without using XPERIA device please at least let me know the fact that it cannot be done.

Thanks
