How to open BBB files

BBB files are the newer format of Blackberry backup files which are created by the Blackberry Desktop Manager software. The previous generation of backup files bore the IPD file extension, which was eventually transitioned out with the newer generation devices and the latest desktop manager software. The BBB files are basically a composition of multiple DAT files with a mapping dictionary that indexes the files to the content they contain. Without getting into too much of nitty-gritty details, let us see how you can open BBB files on your computer.

I know I should probably wait until BlackBerry Desktop Software for Mac is available for download at 1pm EDT this afternoon, but I just couldn't wait and had to.

First of all, you need to make sure that you actually have a BBB file present that you wish to open. Also, the BBB file need not be created by the BBLink software for a BB10 device as those are encrypted and the process to open them up is yet to be found. Here, we will be taking a look to open BBB files which are created by the Blackberry Desktop Manager software (and not BBLink). Once you are able to locate the BBB file (on your computer) that you wish to open, follow the simple steps below to open and extract data from within.
