Z1 backup to SD card

[Felicity1]

Hi.

My z1 was put in to repair. I did the backup (all files) to the SD card. I have got a loan phone (not sony) (but i have the SD card with the backup files) and wanted to know if i can access my contacts on the SD card without my phone?

When looking in the SD card i couldnt find a contact file (only in thumbnails, which i couldnt open the file).

I have never have backed up my contacts in gmail account. 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Normally,you cannot restore the backup file on another device. However,it seems you should be able to extract contacts:

You backed up using the inbuilt tool not PC companion. Do you have the .dbk file?

[Felicity1]

yes, backed up using the backup/restore function on phone

no there are no dbk files

Sorry then,if you did select contacts as well you need a sony device to restore it.
