DBK file extension

The .DBK file extension belongs to files created by 'Sony Ericsson PC Suite', an application for backing up phone settings and data.

The .DBK format is compressed, much like a .zip file - resulting in smaller file sizes. The file itself is a container file, meaning it can contain many different types of data, typically:

- Contacts
- Calendar
- Tasks
- Notes
- Bookmarks
- Phone memory
- Memory card data (pictures, video, music etc)

Once the .dbk file has been created on your computer, you are then able to restore this data to your phone, once again using the 'PC Suite'.

If you you wish to access the actual data inside the file, you'll find the compression format is identical to that of a standard zip file; simply renaming the extension from .dbk to .zip is reported to work - however we advise to make a backup of the file first.
