Is it possibile to extract individual files from a .ab backup file?

Question

If I run:

adb backup -apk -shared -all -f \Path\to\backup.ab

Can I then later extract the .ab file on OSX to view and edit individual files?

You already answered it by yourself. However, I must add this too android.stackexchange.com/questions/75360/… — Firelord, Commented Apr 25, 2015 at 13:36

It looks like this tool might be able to do this. A search for 'android backup extractor' also returns a couple of alternatives
