IPD (or .BBB) is a proprietary file type used for backing up data on BlackBerry mobile devices.

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.

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. IPD to BBB. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting IPD 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 IPD 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.
