How to convert nbu to nbf file

Software utilities such as Nokia NbuExplorer allow users to work both with the NBU and NBF files. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be possible to convert between each another. You can however just recover whatever you need from the backup, like contacts and use it in your new phone. But a successful direct nbu to nbf conversion is unlikely.

Simply put, it is impossible to convert NBU to NBF directly.
Thus, there is no so-called nbu to nbf converter or a free online .nbu to .nbf conversion tool.

Understanding NBU and NBF file formats

The NBU file format is primarily associated with Nokia PC Suite, a software application used to manage Nokia mobile phones. NBU files are backup files created by the software, containing data such as contacts, messages, and calendar entries from the phone.

The NBF file format, on the other hand, is a backup file format used by various applications, including some versions of Nokia PC Suite. It is similar to NBU but may have different structural or compatibility characteristics depending on the software version.

Converting NBU to NBF

Converting an NBU file to an NBF file can be necessary if you need to use the backup data with a different version of Nokia PC Suite or another application that requires the NBF format. However, direct conversion between these formats is not commonly supported by most software.

Best software for NBU to NBF conversion

One of the best approaches to handle this conversion is to use Nokia PC Suite itself, as it can manage both NBU and NBF files. Here’s a general method to attempt the conversion:

  • Open Nokia PC Suite on your computer.
  • Connect your Nokia phone to the computer using a USB cable.
  • Use the File menu to Import the NBU file.
  • Once imported, use the File menu to Export the data, selecting the NBF format if available.

If Nokia PC Suite does not support direct export to NBF, you may need to extract the data from the NBU file and manually create a new backup in the desired format using the software’s backup feature.
