What is an SBL file?

SBL files mostly belong to Super Backup & Restore.

SBL files are not a single, universal file type. Their purpose and format vary based on the software that created them. For example, one common use is as an Android call log backup file. In this case the file contains data in JSON format, generated by apps such as Super Backup & Restore. This type of file holds call history records you can use to restore your Android phone's call log.

Other uses include:

SongBook List: A file used by SongBookEditor that stores song listings or data, sometimes described as a Yamaha Song Book file.
Zip Archive: Some SBL files use the ZIP format to compress session builder logs. These are created by software like SBL Designer and can be opened with any standard archive tool.
Scrapbook Layout: Files that define a scrapbook or photo album layout. They are generated by services like Shutterfly. For more details, visit the Shutterfly website.
Game Data: Certain SBL files use XML to store game-related settings or information, such as for Space Engineers. More details can be found on the Space Engineers website.
Tax or Accounting Data: Some files hold Indian tax information or Tally accounting data, associated with companies like SBLC.
Symbol Libraries: A few are used as Spiceworks Symbol Library files based on XML, linked to software such as SmartDraw. Additional information is available on the SmartDraw website.
Component Data: A small group of these files contains technical data for heating system components or power calculations (e.g. Danfoss Powercalc data via DKEDIT).

FilExt.com tips: How you open an SBL file depends on its internal structure. Files containing JSON or XML can be opened with text editors that highlight syntax, while ZIP-based files require an archive tool. Identifying the structure by a quick look in a text editor may reveal clues about which program should be used.

SBL file format:

A file format defines how the data in the file is structured. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>. If the file extension or signature does not match the file format, errors will occur when opening or editing the file. Knowledge is power - this also applies when dealing with unknown or faulty files. Our examination of the SBL files comes to the following conclusion:

The SBL file extension is not found very often and does not have a uniform file format. The following file formats are most commonly found in SBL files:

8% of all SBL files use ZIP compression, multiple files are compressed and combined into one SBL file. An SBL file includes 2 to 7 files. Tip: If you rename the file ending to .zip and then double-click it, you see the included files and images. The average file size is 9 MB with most files being between 230 KB and 25 MB in size. The keywords default are typical for these files. Such files sometimes refer to blue.
5% of all SBL files internally utilize the JSON file format. JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data−interchange format. It is easy for humans to read and write. It is easy for machines to parse and generate. The contents of these files are easily readable with a text editor. SBL files can be up to 71 KB in size, but are often around 64 bytes - 71 KB.

All other SBL files (87%) have no uniform format, frequently e.g. XML, PWFILEVERINF and SBL. Tagged as session, band, last, list, spec, model or form. If you want to find out which format your SBL file belongs to, just click on the button "Choose your .sbl file to analyze".
