I have an XA2 Plus as a daily driver, upgraded since about v3.0.4 all the way to 4.4.0.68. I have a brand new Xperia 10 iii that i flashed to SFOS 4.4.0.68. I used the backup facility on my XA2 (yesterday) to migrate my profile onto the new 10 iii (restore). At no point (4.1, 4.2, 4.3**, and now …

Turns out the Contacts and Calendar vCard files can be extracted from the backup, and this file then used to via the Manual import in the System Settings > Apps > Contacts import function.

What is the backup supposed to do? Usecase - transfer profile to a new handset?

Would have helped…
I was lucky migrating from XA2 to 10 III with a single “ln -s”.
