I had a nokia 6600 and took a backup of the phone memory on the memory card by going to Organize -> memory -> Options -> Backup Phone memory.
Now i do not have the cell phone but need to get the data from this backup file (*.arc). Is there any tool /way / method by which i can get my data back ??

I tried putting this arc file in the backup folder of another symbian phone (Nokia 6630) but when i go to the above said location it does not show me the option to 'restore'

The bakup.arc can be opend by Noki which is a Nokia backup file extractor and explorer.

The supported formats are: backup.arc, .nbu, .nfb, .nfc, contacts.cdb. The content of the phone can be converted to .txt, .html, Excel .xls, .csv etc.

Please check the backup file recovery guide on the noki site.
