Extract text from Veeam configuration files (BCO)
To convert BCO configurations to another format, you need Veeam Backup & Replication or other Backup software.
To convert other file formats to the "Configuration Backup" file type, you need software like Veeam Backup & Replication or a similar tool.
The .BCO extension primarily identifies a Backup Configuration file generated by Veeam Backup & Replication, the industry standard for virtual machine data protection. These files contain a snapshot of the backup server's own settings - including job definitions, credentials, and infrastructure topology - critical for disaster recovery when the backup server itself fails. A secondary but notable use (approx. 9%) is within the woodworking industry as a Cabinetry Design Order file used by Bridgewood Cabinetry and software like Cabinet Vision to relay manufacturing specifications.
The core challenge with .BCO files is their proprietary nature and lack of interoperability. For Veeam users, a .BCO file is often encrypted and version-locked; you typically cannot open it to view a specific setting without reinstalling the exact version of the Veeam software that created it. This binary lock-in makes auditing configuration changes or migrating settings to different tools extremely difficult. Similarly, Cabinetry .BCO files are unintelligible data dumps to clients or contractors, who often just need a readable list of cabinets and dimensions rather than a machine-readable manufacturing file. For documentation and auditing, converting .BCO contents to PDF allows you to archive a human-readable snapshot of the configuration or order. For data migration or spreadsheet analysis, converting to XML or CSV allows you to extract job parameters or parts lists without launching heavy enterprise applications.
Convert.Guru analyzes your BCO file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our BCO converter.
