What is a BBK file?

BBK files mostly belong to Sage 50 Fixed Assets.

This file extension is used for two distinct purposes, each tied to a specific application.

  • Sage Fixed Assets Backup File: This BBK file is used by Sage 50 Fixed Assets to store backup data. It is built using the ZIP format, which means you can sometimes open it with a standard ZIP tool to check its contents. To restore a backup, you need to open it with the Sage 50 Fixed Assets application. For more details, visit Sage.
  • Blender Brush Preset File: In another use case, BBK files are used in Blender to save brush presets. These presets contain information, such as brush strokes saved as bitmap images, which help in digital art projects. More on this use is available at the Blender project page.
  • FilExt.com tip: This file can serve as either a backup archive or a digital art tool preset, depending on the software that created it. Make sure you use the proper program to open and manage your BBK file.
