Does anyone know if its possible to extract a file from a previous backup that I did with Sprite Backup. I am running WM 6.1. I dont want to restore this backup as I deleted a note and need it.
Any ideas?
Thanks
I was able to figure this out myself. When you click on a backup done with Sprite Backup, it gives you the option to restore an individual folder or file. I was able to get my note back.

I know there are a lot of apps for back up/restoring, but does anyone know any working for ICS? I have tried AppExtractor with ROM Manager, didn't work. The Message-app started to behave strange. Tried SMS Backup & Restore, was able to restore the sms but couldn't not open them.
I'm currently using NovaHD's ICS Rom.
You can restore your messages from /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db and mmssms.db-journal in your nandroid backup (just extract and replace)
And your calls from /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/database/contacts2.db and contacts2.db-journal
(Extract and replace)
Nandroid = CWM?
So, basically your saying that i should extract my backup and the rom, then find these folders extract the backup one to the rom and then zip it again?
Two options
#1 Restore your backup, copy the files to a temp folder on sdcard, flash your new rom and replace them
#2 Extract them from your backup and then replace them
It might be other solutions aswell but these are simple
Nandroid = CWM

just a small mention....file types from CM7 or Cm 9 are not the same with other GB formats....so are not comaptible....be careful with that.

Sreeprajay, i'm goding from stock rom to custom, should work right?!

Nope, just root and and root explorer (or similar)
You dont even need a computer
Or use nandroid browser from the market : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.goddchen.android.nandroidbrowser

from the stock to custom, it will be prefect...just make sure once you are rooted, backup your msgs and call logs by either apps or by backing the ROM totally....
Hope it helps
So, i installed root explorer, copied mmssms.db(no journal-file), flashed owain's rom, installed root explorer, replaced my mmssms.db file in the rom, rebooted and the SMS-client won't start.
Optimus, maybe this will help you:
This is "backup to gmail"
I have got this aplication (paid) but it`s works on ICS (owain 29)
Take a look on my screenshot.
sms backup & restore works perfectly for me, but no idea on that phone call log
Albatros2605, MoFosis, Thanks for your help guys, but managed to restore my SMS by using SMS Backup+, which copies everything to your gmail and then downloads it to restore the SMS.
Hi guys, I recently screwed the pooch on an upgrade to 4.0.4, and I forgot to backup SMS before doing it. I did a nandroid backup, but I can neither restore the backup nor locate the mmssms.db file in the archive. I tried AppExtractor and Titanium Backup, but with no success.
Can someone help me by telling me where to locate my SMS history in a nandroid backup? Thanks!
Anyone knows if those .sbf files created by the included Sprite Mobile Backup can be modified? I couldn't find a solution for that. Would be nice if one could include things from old phone to restore.
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knows how to extract file that created by stock Sony backup and restore utility?
It seems like the file is encrypted as I have to enter password at time of creating them. I need to extract one chat history and restore it manually.
Thanks!

I too would be grateful to see if anyone has achieved this, i have flashed my phone and i have som app data in an stock backup i would need! =)
hey.
my simple trick to restore my sms messeages from a "Sony backup & Restore"-FullBackup was, that i backuped only the empty messages again to a new Restorepoint. than i replaced the created file with that one from the fullbackup folder. only replace the file and do not delete other files or folders!
when you restore now from the last backup, you will get the content from the fullbackup.
i hope, this will help you ... but you need the Sony backup App for this procedure
I have problem with backup . I've done it while i was on 5.0.2 with system app backup and restore . Now on 5.1.1 with same app i can not restore it back cause they are not compatible... Is there any tricks that could help me here to somehow extract and open files from .semc-fullbackup folder?
