Extract text from DPB files
To convert your DPB file to another format, you need Data Project or other Backup software.
To convert other file formats to the "Application Database Archive" file type, you need software like Data Project or a similar tool.
The .dpb file extension serves as a proprietary backup container for several unrelated software ecosystems, creating significant confusion for users trying to access their data. Its most frequent use (approx. 24%) is associated with Data Project, a suite of software widely used for volleyball scouting and sports statistics management. In this context, the file archives match data, rosters, and analysis configurations. A historically significant secondary use is by Susteen DataPilot, where the file functions as a phonebook backup for legacy mobile devices. Other distinct variations include database backups for Invelos DVD Profiler (movie cataloging) and HMI project files for Delta Electronics DOPSoft (industrial automation).
The main drawback with .dpb files is vendor lock-in. These are not standardized documents; they are binary or encrypted blobs designed solely for the software that created them. Users often discover these files on old hard drives or industrial equipment and find they cannot be opened by standard tools like Microsoft Excel or Notepad. Direct conversion is rarely supported by third-party tools due to this fragmentation. The most reliable workflow is to identify the originating software (e.g., check if the file came from a sports analyst or an old PC backup), install that specific environment to 'Restore' the backup, and then use the internal 'Export' feature to save the data to accessible formats like CSV (for spreadsheets), PDF (for reports), or XML (for data migration).
Convert.Guru analyzes your DPB file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our DPB converter.
