N73: I want to save the file Contacts.cdb

Question

Neither with the file manager x-plore nor Y Browser did I manage to find the
file Contacts.cdb in my sister's Nokia N73. I want to copy it to the PC so to
save the addressbook.
Can anybody suggest how to do so? The file should be in C:\System\Data, but I
can't find it.
Thanks
Rodolfo

This is the way users are spoiled from their natural right to backup and
restore their data: it is inconceivable.

What do you mean with "will preserve the personalized labels"? because I myself have N73 and when copying them file by file from Contacts in the Phone Browser saves not only the thumbnail and personalised melody but everything else.

The problem has already been arised, see e.g.:
/discussions/board/message?board.id=smartphones&me​ssage.id=11098
Go to:
Menu > Contacts > Open (message) > Edit > Edit label
, and you can change at your pleasure the default label name; e.g., you can
change `Mobile (home)' (but what does mobile home mean??) into, say, `Mobile
(TIM)' or `Mobile (Vodafone)' or `Mobile (wife)' or whatever else it is useful
to you. Those changes can be important and actually are for many people but
cannot be saved neither with PC Suite nor copying the contacts to the memory
card: the only possible way to backup and restore them is - and I did it with
the Nokia 6630 - to save the file Contacts.cdb and then paste it into the
system again.
I hope a possible solution can be found.
