Convert SPBM to SPB

Understanding spbm and spb file formats

SPBM and SPB are both file formats associated with Samsung devices, primarily used for storing backup data. SPBM files are typically created by Samsung's Smart Switch or Kies software as a backup of mobile device data, while SPB files are an older backup format used by Samsung Kies for contacts and other personal information. Converting between these formats may be necessary for compatibility with different versions of Samsung software or devices.

How to convert spbm to spb

Direct conversion from SPBM to SPB is not officially supported by Samsung, as these formats are used by different generations of their backup software. However, you can extract the data from an SPBM file and then create a new SPB file using Samsung Kies. The process involves restoring the SPBM backup to a compatible Samsung device and then using Samsung Kies to create a new SPB backup.

Step-by-step conversion process

1. Restore your SPBM backup to a Samsung device using Samsung Smart Switch.
2. Install Samsung Kies on your computer.
3. Connect your Samsung device to your computer and launch Samsung Kies.
4. Use Backup/Restore in Kies to create a new backup. Kies will generate an SPB file containing your contacts and other data.

Best software for spbm to spb conversion

The recommended software for this process is:

• Samsung Smart Switch – for restoring SPBM backups to your device.
• Samsung Kies – for creating SPB backups from your device.

There are no direct third-party converters for SPBM to SPB, so using Samsung's official tools is the most reliable method.

Tips and considerations

• Always back up your data before performing any conversion or restoration.
• Ensure your device is compatible with both Smart Switch and Kies.
• If you only need contacts, you can export them as VCF files from your device and import them into Kies.
