xBackup --> browse on a PC ?

Hi,
I've made a full backup with xBackup and i'm wondering if a PC application can read the backup file and browse files inside ?
I want to find out the Qtek version saved in this backup file.

.rar files are archived files (compressed files)
you can unpack them with winrar, on the pc, or with winrar for ppc (for unpacking with the device itself)
the best way to unpack these .rar files is on your pc, and then copy the .cab file to your ppc, to start installing the game.
or use the instalation program included in the .rar file if it is an .exe file
a program will be installed to your pc, and the program will install and copy everything to your ppc.
if the game has no installation, only an .exe file and some data files, copy al the files to a new map on your ppc and click on the .exe (with an file explorer)
grtz.

download it on your phone, then connect your phone to a pc transfer the file to the pc and install it that way?

I've never felt so stupid. I've got Unrar on my computer and it seems to be unacking things, but it does it in a heartbeat and then I don't know where it's sending the unpacked files; i can't find them anywhere. where the heck do I look. The program doesn't seem to have a screen or any functions; it's doing something in the background AND making me feel like an idiot. Anyone got a "Well duh!" to help me blush?

right click the rar file and click extract here.
It will extract it to the same location you have the rar file.

[Q]Backup file .LBF corrupt

Hi!
On LG G2 I created a backup file from setting - backup and restore - create backup. Then I copied a .lbf file to my computer and factory reset my phone.
After reset I copied backup file from computer to phone and run restore. Everything went well, except contacts/sms. error is "FAILED".
Question: How do I get my contacts from .lbf file? If I extract this file with 7zip i get a file contacts2.db but I can't open it. Tried with notepad, MS access.
Any suggestion would be great.

Probably I'm not the only one with this problem, so this is the solution:
Insall DB browser for sqllite, import contacts2.db and execute this command:
select display_name,n.normalized_number from view_contacts as c, view_phone_lookup as n where c.name_raw_contact_id=n.raw_contact_id
This will show you all names with proper phone numbers. Now you can copy-paste to excel/notepad :good:

Restore from backup (.lbf) on Lineage 17?

I needed to update my LG G3-D855 to a the version Lineage 17 since some apps stopped working on the old version.
However, in ignorance the LG backup/restore feature was used to backup the phone, creating a .lbf file on PC. Now it appears there is no way to restore from the file on Lineage. I have enabled the developer options and USB debugging, but the LG bridge tool does not even recognize the phone (no device detected). Is there any way to extract information from the backup?
Thank you for thy great help.

I was able to extract all the files from the backup .lbf using https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/tool-lg-restore-com-lge-bnr-lbf-file-t4053579/ as guide.
However, this presents a new problem. The contacts, messages and call logs are _DB files (not .db files, the file type is "file"). How to convert these to something that can be imported by Lineage 17?

Ok, so the _DB files are actually .tar files containing the .db files. But now there is again a new issue, how to import the .db files to Lineage?
I tried to directly copy and paste the contacts2.db to the contact database directory, but this breaks the contacts entirely on the phone. I also installed SQLite Expert, checked the user and scheme version on the new and old .db file and edited the old .db to match. No difference...
Apparently the .db can be converted to .vcf which can be directly imported by the phone. However, I did not find any way to convert the .db to .vcf on windows...
