Unable to find and import Tasks and Address Book from backup
Hi all
I am trying to recover reminders and email addresses from my back up (catastrophic hard drive failure, rebuild etc).
I have installed the ImportExport Tools add on to import most of my emails.
Do I use the same tool to import my address book and if so, how?
Also, how do I import Tasks or is that even possible?
I'm hoping you can help - this is affecting the small business I work for.
Regards
Koz.

It's easier and cleaner to restore the whole profile, rather than this piecemeal approach you're using. I don't think there are any approved procedures for specifically importing the address book and calendar.
The add-on you mentioned deals only with email messages. It probably won't help you here. It does have a backup function, but I don't know how comprehensive that is.
The two main address books are stored in files abook.mab and history.mab. You could copy-and-paste these from whatever backup you have. Other user-defiined address books, with names like abook1.mab, would have to be imported using a different add-on.

I suspect there is a specific file for calendar data, but I don't know, off-hand, what you need to look for. I think Matt knows. ;-)
As said, if you can grab the entire profile, everything will be put back in place all in one go.
