File created by QuickBooks, a software that helps companies keep track of their finances, only contains a compressed version of company financial data and sends company financial data via email or to a small external storage unit.
If you want to restore a QBM portable company file, go to the application menu and pick File Open or Restore Company, then “Restore a portable file” from the dialogue.
To complete the restoration process, you will be guided through many more screens.
Please note that since QBM files only backup company financial data, they should not be used as complete backups. Build a qbb file in QuickBooks to create a full backup.

The first part of the task has already been completed – the table contains the software required to open the qbm file. Now all you have to do is download and update the software needed.
How to solve problems with qbm files?
The inability to open and operate the QBM file does not always imply that you lack the correct software on your computer. There may be other issues that prevent us from using the QuickBooks Portable Company Format file. A list of future concerns follows.
- The corruption of a qbm file that is currently being opened
- Links to the qbm file in registry entries are wrong.
- The definition of the qbm was accidentally deleted from the Windows registry.
- An application that supports the qbm format was not built fully.
- The malware that is infecting the qbm file that is being opened is unwanted.
- The computer’s hardware resources are insufficient to handle the opening of the QBM file.
