On searching the forums for help, I couldn`t find out any solution to this. I came to know that all the items of calendar are stored at /home/user/.calendar/calendardb.backup. This file shows the last modified date/time of one day before it crashed.

Can anyone help me how to restore the items from this file, or any other way?
I have file "/home/user/.calendar/calendardb" - and my Calendar is fine.
So, copy file "/home/user/.calendar/calendardb.backup" to another place (like, "/home/user/MyDocs") just-in-case, and then copy it to "/home/user/.calendar/calendardb" - maybe, Calendar will be able to read it, then.
If "/home/user/.calendar/calendardb" disappears - I don't know why it would disappear - you will be glad to have a copy of it safe somewhere else (like, in "/home/user/MyDocs").
If Calendar reads the entries - it might require "killall Calendar" in X-Term as non-root - then you will be glad that Maemo backed up your database, and it wasn't lost during unexpected reboot. Merely misplaced.
Best wishes.
