I first tried Noki but it only gave me 30 contacts which i thought was unacceptable. I decided to try the nfbdecode program. the instructions on the website phased me a bit, but i forged forward and achieved sucess. one bit of advise it my be easier, especially for lazy people like me to copy the executable and the file to be converted to a folder on the c drive so that the typing is less. renaming the file to a shorter name may make the typing even shorter. Thanks Eran what you have done is more than etc.

I tried the Noki but am not ready to spend that amount on retrieving my contacts. It does give me 50 of them-
Anyone know of a program that is fully functional and free for the .nbu files?

Nokia really messed this up. I could not see having this type of software available for backing up a computer. Once you do an upgrade- you loose the ability to restore from previous versions- NOT. Nokia best fix this up or the next phone will not be theirs.

Hi,
I have a similar problem but with a .nbu file that the newest version of the software does not recognize. I tried the opener here and it doesn’t work. Does anyone know of a program that is similar but will rip apart .nbu files?

@rizqi, There's no direct converter from .nfc to .nbu - formats are too different (.nfc is pre pc suite 6.5 & .nbu is post 6.8). You can extract the .nfc using Noki and import the contacts into the phone via PC Suite. Then you can generate a new .nbu from the phone.

Nokisoft is the best for viewing .nbu files.

It’s so straight forward… it’s like an arrow.

1 – Install and run Noki
2 – Open an .nbu file from Noki
3 – Browse your files

Where can I get an older version of PC suite without having to join some virus-infected download site? I’ve ranted about how great Nokia phones are for years but this is beyond negligence.

I finally found those .nbu files. Many thanks to James for great help. I also used Noki. Works like a charm. Cheers!

NbuExplorer is capable to view and extract content of nfb, nbc and nbu backups.
