Don’t you know what program to use to convert the .VBM file? Do you want to convert a .VBM file into a different format? Below you will find helpful information.

Veeam Backup Metadata Format Veeam Software Backup Files
.VBM

VBM ( .vbm) is a metadata file that is used to store information about backups created by Veeam. VBM files are typically stored in the same folder as the actual backup files. The VBM is created for each individual backup by the Veeam backup program upon the completion of every backup job. It contains information about particular backups, including their size, type, structure, and any additional relevant details. This allows Veeam to easily detect if an older version of the backed up data already exists and determine if a full or incremental backup should be performed.

Purpose

The VBM file serves the purpose of providing a cataloged record of all backup jobs executed using Veeam. By creating an individual entry for each backup job, it allows the Veeam backup system to quickly resolve any conflicting backup requests or issues with multiple backups running concurrently. This ensures that all data is up to date and that the order of events can be reliably reproduced when restoring previous versions of backed up data.

Similar Formats

Other related metadata formats used by other backup programs include .bkf, jcx, .jdx, .tnf, .zip. All these files serve a similar purpose as the VBM: they archive all incident and job related information required to manage and restore backups.

Programs for WINDOWS system

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .VBM) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .VBM extension.

When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.

Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .VBM file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .VBM extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .VBM extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .VBM file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.

Other instructions

If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .VBM file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.

In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .VBM file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .VBM file) will be extended to the maximum.

It is also good to check

  • if the .VBM file has no errors
  • or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
In such a case it is best to try to download the .VBM file again from the same source on the Internet (or look for another source). If you received the file from another person, ask this person to re-send it. However, if the file was copied from some media, repeat the copying operation.
