How to open MBDB file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MBDB file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install iPhone Backup Browser

Programs to open MBDB file
Remember to download programs supporting MBDB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of iPhone Backup Browser with MBDB files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the MBDB file to open in the iPhone Backup Browser application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the MBDB file with the iPhone Backup Browser program.
Step 3. Update iPhone Backup Browser to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the iPhone Backup Browser program, it is possible that Apple IOS Backup Manifest requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Rene Devichi page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MBDB file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to MBDB files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MBDB file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected MBDB files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the MBDB files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MBDB files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Apple, Inc. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file MBDB except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move MBDB to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MBDB to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MBDB file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
