iPhone - Extract Address Book Contacts, Save SMS and iMessages

If you have lost your phone or if its damaged and you need your contacts from iPhone Backup, it is possible to read the needed information. But you need also the information if you have encrypted your backupfile. Some applications dont support encrypted iPhone Backupfiles. In this goal we want to extract only contacts. Therefore we install a programm so called "iPhone Backup Viewer".
