I need to restore one or more Thunderbird calender files from my Windows back up. When in Thunderbird, click on properties for any calendar it states the location as moz-storage-calendar://

This tells me nothing. Exactly where IS moz-storage-calendar:// I have no idea where that is nor what the file names are. Where on earth are these calendar files located? I can not find them.

What exactly is in your backup?

It does not matter: but Windows 7 does an automatic backup (back up and restore) and the backups are stored on an external hard drive. So that back up has the calender files since Thunderbird is part of the backup. All I need to know is where Thunderbird stores the calendar files. Both the backup and Thunderbird will store the calendar files in the same path name.

Thunderbird stores the calendar data in the profile underneath calendar-data/local.sqlite.

For more information on the profile location ... http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Thunderbird

Note, it isn't sufficient to just restore the calendar data if the calendar isn't set up properly. It would make more sense to restore the entire profile.
