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 "Backup Configuration File" file type, you need software like Veeam Backup & Replication or a similar tool.
The .BCO file extension is most commonly associated with a Veeam Backup Configuration file. Created by Veeam Backup & Replication, this file stores the database configuration, backup job settings, and infrastructure details required to restore a Veeam backup server after a catastrophic failure. A secondary use for .BCO files is as a Cabinetry design order file or quote file used by Cabinet Vision ERP software, manufactured by Hexagon.
The main disadvantage of the .BCO format is its highly proprietary nature. These files are tightly locked into their respective software ecosystems. You cannot open a Veeam configuration file natively in a web browser or a standard text editor to easily read the infrastructure settings. Similarly, a Cabinet Vision quote requires an expensive, specialized CAD/CAM license to view the cabinetry details. This creates a severe bottleneck if you just need to review the text data, database tables, or order specifications without installing enterprise-grade software.
Converting a .BCO file directly into a universal format like PDF or XML is difficult because the internal structure relies on serialized database records or encrypted strings. Direct migration to a competing backup platform or a different CAD program is practically impossible without losing the structural logic.
Because this is a closed, proprietary format, standard online converters fail to process it. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data. However, convert.guru provides a pragmatic solution. Just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format - like plain text or XML within the archive - viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your BCO file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted LANG, VDF and EPB files.

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.
