I tried restoring the calendar entries (thru ovi suite) from a back-up which is 3 months old. It showed successful restore but the old items are still not showing up.
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?
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.

Is that it or something more needs to be done to ensure safety of the data?
Thanks a lot for the help !

However, I would recommend finding out the reason for the sudden reboot which caused the problem in the first place. Especially, if such reboots repeat. Because this time auto-backup worked, but I am not sure it would work all the time in the future.
Best wishes.
