It would be much safer if the backup file would be a simple text file, eg CSV, XML, or plain text, so that anoyne could review it and get info in/out of it using a text editor.

I am having in mind PIM Backup an extremely handy utility from the Windows Mobile 6.x which operated like this.

The format of the backupfile is near plain text. Contacts are stored in vfc-Format, Calendar items in vcs-Format. But anyway - its also possible to import the data of the backup instead of restoring so you are able to convert the data in the backup even without connected phone.
