IpdDump

IpdDump is a lightweight software application designed specifically for helping you explore the content of a Blackberry backup file and extract the information to a file.

The advantages of being portable

Since it comes in a portable package, the utility can be run directly on your computer without having to go through an installation process. Good news is that your Windows registry doesn’t get bloated with unnecessary entries as the program doesn’t alter configuration data.
Plus, you can store it on a USB flash drive or other removable media, and take it with you whenever you need to explore Blackberry backup files on the fly.
This is a Java-based app, so you need to previously deploy the working environment on your computer.

User interface

IpdDump keeps things simple and intuitive when it comes to its GUI. It adopts a multi-tabbed layout that allows you to easily check out information about SMS, Contacts, Memos, Tasks, and Call Logs.
The tool gives you the possibility to import data from IPD file format, and you may add files in the working environment using the built-in browse button, so you cannot rely on the drag-and-drop support.

Check out the content of Blackberry backup files

IpdDump reveals information about SMS, namely phone number, text message, date when it was sent and received, contacts (name, email address, mobile, work, home, and notes), memos (title and memo), tasks (task, status, priority, due date, reminder, notes and time zone) and call logs (name, date, status and duration).
What’s more, you are allowed to export SMS, contacts and memos to XML, CSV and plain text file format.

Bottom line
