.bbb support #28

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Will you be implementing support for .bbb files?  (These are the backup files 
created by the Mac 
version of the BlackBerry Desktop Manager)

I am specifically interested in extracting SMS from a .bbb

Thanks!

.bbb files are simply zip bundles, which should be able to be opened with 
java.util.zip.ZipFile. The IPD file is then contained in the Databases/ 
directory in
the zip file. It appears that the XML file also in the .bbb bundle has useful
information on which databases (and how many records are in each database) are 
in the
IPD files.

Any .bbb files that perhaps could be sent to me could help me fix this, since i 
don't have a Mac... The files will be 100% used only for the purpose of 
expanding Ipddump!

Thanks adamfblahblah!  This worked perfectly with an SMS database of over 1700 
entries using version 0.2.5.  

I had to create a backup of *just* the SMS to extract them.  I couldn't pull 
them from a full backup.

Hi. I've got a challenge with BB bold 9780. With BB desktopsoftware i may only 
create backup file of  *.bbb type. At least i didn't find a way how to change 
file type for backup within BB soft. However hint from adamfblahblah helped to 
open *.bbb file and get the required 1.dat database which has descrirtion 
inside "Inter@ctive Pager Backup/Restore File" , but ipddump doesn't regonize 
it as ipd file even file was renamed to *.ipd
So please find attached example of my *.bbb file. And have fun. 

You feedback very appreciated =)

To unzip on a Mac, open Terminal, type 'unzip ' (no quotes) and then drag the 
.bbb file into the Terminal window and press enter.

Hi ! IpdDump 0.3 RC4.jar looks great... but it does not work with .bbb files 
created by the latest version of BB Desktop Software. Is there a new release 
planned ?
