I was given the following files on a USB drive to open but don't expect to open these until Monday and want to get ahead of the curve if possible.
I was given the following files:
job_name_server_name.vbk 478.6G
job_name_server_name.vib 31.8M
job_name_server_name.vim 33k
I noticed the VeeamConfigBackup folder and .bco file are missing.
Will I be able to open and view the content of these files after I plug the USB drive into a computer running Veeam?
These files are not for a VM rather a file level backup.

Re: Restoring Image Files Without Configuration Files
Hello,
before I move the topic to the correct forum, could you help me out about what product you are talking? the .vim file, is it a .vbm file?
In general, if you double click on Veeam backup files on a computer with Backup & Replication installed, you will be able to open that backup. A configuration is not needed. That's one of the main design ideas we have at Veeam: independent backups.
This also works with agent backups.
Best regards,
Hannes

Re: Restoring Image Files Without Configuration Files
We don't have anything with .vim extension, so, mostly likely, it's .vbm file.
Anyway, you don't need configuration backup (.bco) to restore backups - having machine with VB&R installed should be enough.
Thanks!
