Extracting a calendar file from TWRP backup

Before my old device died on me (Motorola), I did a TWRP and TB backup but I forgot to backup the devices internal calendar (using Business Calendar 2). When I restored everything to the new device (Sony) using TB, it didn't restore the calendar entries.

Is there anything I can do to get them back?

*I can't use the TWRP backup in Titanium as it is 8GB and I don't have the space on the internal memory and I can't find a way to point it to an external source.
*I have tried renaming the data.f2fs.win000 file to a ZIP in Windows, going to 'data\data\com.android.providers.calendar\database s\' and copying the calendar.db and calendar.db-journal file to the same place of the new device (backing up then deleting what was there first) but that just caused all calendar apps to FC after restarting.
*I have compared the calendar.db file from the TWRP backup to the original one on the Sony in Notepad and it shows the entries I am missing, so I know I am close, I just can't restore them to the new device.

Is it possible to convert DB to a ICS file or am I looking in completely the wrong place on the backup?

I can't extract the whole 'data\data\com.android.providers.calendar\database s\' folder in Windows, because it moans about the filename length as I thought maybe copying the whole folder instead of the two above files to the new device would solve it.

Any help would be appreciated.
