What is DBK file?
The DBK file extension is used for backups of schematics created with OrCAD capture. It is a proprietary electronic design automation (EDA) software developed by Cadence Design Systems. OrCAD is used by electrical engineers and system designers to prototype their projects and designs. The schematic capture portion of the program is used to create the visual diagrams of the electrical design, from which the PCB layouts are developed. The DBK file serves as a backup copy of these schematics. [ ⏩ ] DBK file extension
What is BBB file?
BBB (or .BBB) is the file format type used by BlackBerry after 2012 for backing up device data. It is a compressed archive that contains personal information such as calendar entries and contact information, as well as data related to applications that are installed on the BlackBerry. The data contained in the archive is encrypted which makes it more secure. The earlier back up formats used by BlackBerry devices such as IPD (or .IPD) and BBB (or .BBB) are no longer supported.

Software, that you can use to convert
How to convert the file from DBK to BBB?
To successfully convert the DBK file to BBB, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.DBK). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case BBB (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than BBB).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. DBK to BBB. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting DBK files to BBB files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension BBB, while before this step we had the DBK file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new BBB file, or not.
