Filename Extensions

A filename extension is a suffix separated from the base filename by a period. It is applied to the name of a computer file to indicate the encoding (file format) of its contents.

In Veeam technical documentation, we write filename extensions in upper-case letters following a period — non-italic, non-bold and non-underlined.

Important

This applies only to filename extensions. When talking about a format, use just upper-case letters with no period.

Examples

  1. The reverse incremental backup method produces a backup chain that consists of the last full backup file (.VBK) and a set of reverse incremental backup files (.VRB) preceding it.
  2. On the Output File tab, specify a path to the resulting .DOCX file.
  3. Now you can run the .CMD file to generate your project in the DOCX format.
