What is a .BACKUPDB file?
The file extension .BACKUPDB is associated with a special type of folder used by Apple computers, specifically for storing backup data. This folder is created by a program called Time Machine, which is a backup utility that comes with Mac OS X 10.5 (also known as Leopard) and later versions. The folder is usually named "Backups.backupdb" and it's typically the only folder you'll find on a backup drive when you use Time Machine. This means that all the files and data from your computer that Time Machine saves for safety are stored in this folder.
To open or access this .BACKUPDB folder, you don't need to download any additional software or applications because it is designed to work seamlessly with Time Machine, which is already included with your Mac operating system (OS). So, if you ever need to restore files from a Time Machine backup, you would do so through the Time Machine application itself, rather than opening the .BACKUPDB folder directly.
