Anyone know of PC software that can open a Backup.stg file, and let me extract the Contacts into a usable format?
I've tried STGViewer - but its doesn't seem to let me do anything with the extracted Contact files.
I've tried to download Mobile Vault from;
http://hometown.aol.com/anyware/wce/MobileVault/index.htm
but the download link isn't working.
Thanks in advance.

Please someone help...I've backed up my contacts using my windows 2003 second edition pocket pc in a STG file format...I lost my device and bought a new one with a windows mobile 6 edition..I used "mobile vault" to read the STG file , but I can't find the "Contacts" file database...could any one help please find my contacts & extract them from that STG file...Thanks for reading
possibe alternative solution
Activesync restore was telling me that the database files were in use. The running programs application in my 02 xda doesn't really show all running programs. I installed magic button and when the active sync tells restore tells me to check the running programs, I just ran magic button and killed everything except for activesync. Click on retry and the databases where restored successfully.

Question:
Is there any way to convert the pbc (binary backup) to any format that outlook recognize?
I ask because my mobile has broken and I have the backup in binary and i want to extract it to another mobile (not windows-mobile)

Answer:
There is no converter tool so far, sorry. The only way is the use of a windows mobile device, by doing a restore then doing a text backup.
As you don't have a wm device, your only solution is the wm emulator. To get the wm emulator, you need to have Microsoft Visual Studio.
So download Microsoft Visual Studio Express Edition which is free then download the windows mobile OS image and use the emulator to do the job like a real device.

There is a way, you can use Windows mobile Emulator, i was able to
1) run PIMbackup
2) restore BIN backup
3) backup again as non binary
4) then PIB can be changed to zip, and csv files from zip can be upload to gmail contacts.
PIM backup
What version of PIM beckup did you used ??
Becouse on version 2.8.0. After aunpack inside is *.CSC file
Hi all,

Hi - i know this question has been asked many times but I was not able to find the correct one - so is there free and working way to backup my sms messages from winmo and transfer them to android ?
I don't know if there's a program for this in winmo, but SMS Backup+ backups your SMSs to your gmail account so maybe you can find a winmo program which does the same

Yeah i know but the beta is over and i cant find download link
You're right, I didn't know. I used it a few months ago.
I have no other solution. I remember I had spent much time searching how to transfer everything and had only found that solution for SMS.
Maybe there's a way if you can export your SMS to your SIM card then import them?
Use PIM Backup to backup
Do not 'compress' and do not 'binary backup' the file.
Rename the PIMBackup_xxxxxxxx.phb to *.zip
Unpack this *.zip
Rename any *.* to *.txt to view its content and start processing cq converting it device specific further on your road *cough* success,
