Opening Nokia
Senior Editor of 3d2f.com has done a Smart Review for Noki
"Transferring essential data between
a PC and a mobile phone isn’t an easy task. Typically, we have to get
on with two independent information storages, the main (PC) and
a mobile (phone) without any connections. Software provided by a phone
manufacturer usually can’t fully solve the problem. For Nokia phones,
we have Nokia PC Suite (made by Nokia), which can easily make backup of all
data from the phone, but it’s still hard to explore and use these data.
Noki software gracefully solves the problem, being a bridge between Nokia
PC Suite’s binary formats and common file formats like text, Excel
worksheets and so on. "
"Noki allows to open backup files created either by Nokia or Symbian
software, explore these files and save them entirely or partly in other
formats. When you load Noki and open a backup file (.nbu, .nfb, .nfc, or .cdb)*
with it, you see its contents in a folder tree. All items have brief preview
with tooltips (image folders also have thumbnail preview), and you can
export all of them or only selected ones into different formats. There are
handy options for target formats like "several text files", "one text file",
html file, Excel file. Now with Noki you can just use your data the way
you want."

Read and Extract Data from .NBU Noka Backup Files
reviewed by Killer Tech Tips
"You can create an .NBU backup and restore it completely to your phone
afterward. But you just can’t read an individual SMS message, contacts list
data, graphic or theme from that backup. That means it’s pretty useless from
one point of view. You could even face problems if you try to restore the
backup to a phone of a different model.
Is there a way to make these files readable, you ask? Well, there is. Thanks to a third party software called Noki, it’s possible to view individual graphics, messages, drafts, contacts and other data from your backed up .NBU file. What’s more, you could even extract this data into a simple format. For instance, you could convert your contacts into a simple .csv/text/html file. Cool, isn’t it?
Noki, which tags itself as the Explorer for Nokia PC Suite files, ... It does live up to its name by allowing you to extract all kinds of data from your Nokia mobile phone backup. Good luck!"

When a Restore Isn't a Restore
reviewed by hertenberger.co.za
"Noki
is an application that is able to read and interpret the contents of the
Nokia backup files. These files
generally have the NBU extension and
contain all the data selected for backup during the backup process.Use
of the application is very easy and there is little that can go wrong.
Using Noki, it’s a simple matter of selecting the desired backup file. The content is displayed in a neat tree view.
The ActiveNotes are basic HTML files. Using Noki I was able to extract them to the desktop and then copy them back to the phone’s ActiveNotes directory. Simple as that!
Over and above that, Noki is a means of integrating your phone’s data to a variety of other applications and using it in a number of other ways.
If you’re stuck with Nokia phone backups and need to manipulate or restore the data, Noki may be a lifesaver for you too."
Thanks for Mr Hertenberger for this nice review.
