What is a .B02 file?
A .B02 file is a type of file that comes from splitting a CD's data into parts. This file holds the third part of the data that was copied. The software called BlindWrite, which is made by VSO Software, is used to create these files. BlindWrite is a program that can copy, or "burn," information onto CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs. It's useful for making backups of your discs.
The .B02 file usually contains either software or music that was on the CD. It's part of a series of files that work together to represent the whole CD. The first part is saved as a .B00 file, the second part as a .B01 file, and so on. These files are often found together in the same folder because they are all pieces of the same CD.
In the past, when computer storage was more limited, it was helpful to break up a CD's data into smaller files. This made the data easier to manage and store. That's why BlindWrite would create these segmented files, like the .B02 file. However, as computers started to have more storage space, there was less need to split files in this way. Because of this change, the newer versions of BlindWrite don't split files into segments like .B02 anymore. But, if you're working with backups made with an older version of BlindWrite, you might still come across these .B02 files.
To open a .B02 file, you would need to use BlindWrite. This program understands how to work with these files and can help you access the data stored in them. If you have a .B02 file, it's likely you also have the .B00 and .B01 files that go with it. You would need all the parts to fully restore the data from the original CD.
