Restore backup from sdcard - Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
I used to own a Z5 Compact till yesterday when I traded it in. In my stupidity I didn't use to native transfer app to transfer from the Xperia to the new HTC. But i did do a backup for the Z5 on my sdcard for my contacts, sms, call logs etc.
Now I would like to know how can I extract from these backups? To clarify it's not the .dbk file. The files I have are like "CONTACTS" and "CONTACTS_meta".
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Omer

"Dear Sir/Mdm,
My name is Devin Jadewood.
I am emailing the developer of GO Backup for help regarding the restoration of a backup I created using your excellent software GO Backup.
GO Backup is very useful in backing up and restoring my data.
However, i changed recently from Sony Xperia X10 phone to Sony Xperia U phone.
So, I wanted to restore my backup of Sony Xperia X10 phone to Sony Xperia U phone.
Then, unfortunately, i accidentally deleted the GO Backup folder from the Sony Xperia 10 phone microSD card thinking that there was no backup.
But, I had pressed 'extract text messages from backup' option last time.
So, I noticed that there is still a "messages_gobackup_2012-07-17_12-49-57" xml file in the root folder of the microSD card.
Please tell me how do I restore it to my new Sony Xperia U phone.
Thankyou for your kind attention.
I would appreciate it if you help me.
Devin Jadewood."

i tried xls stylesheet of other sms backup apps and they are not compatible.
pls help. thankyou very much

Have you tried creating a backup on your new phone, then go to the folder where the backup was created, and replace the file with your old backup. Then restore it.

[SOLVED] Sony Xperia Neo L contacts .db location

Hey guys, please help!
Anybody knows location of Xperia Neo L contacts database?
My friend made backup of contacts on SD card but he forgot to copy them to PC before he formatted it...and I installed him CM10 so they are gone for good.
I made CWM backup of stock ICS ROM but I can't find contacts database. I searched in \data\com.android.providers.contacts\databases\contacts2.db but it is empty. Other databases I have searched also doesent contain contacts.
Before everything I also made Titanium backup, but it also can't restore contacts....very strange.
I tought, with 3 backups, what can go wrong?
Little more searching paid off!
Everything is in \data\com.sonyericsson.eventstream\databases\eventstream.db, contacts are in "friend" table and calls&messages are in "event" table!
I'm so happy
