Notes about the DCM file extension:

Errors in your registry are one of the common causes for incorrect file associations on your windows system. It is highly recommended that you check your registry for file association errors (will also check for any other registry errors).

The DCM file type is primarily associated with 'My Book' by Western Digital Corporation.

The backup software that comes with the Western Digital My Book creates files for keeping track of changes to text-based files.

For example, if you backup a text file named EXAMPLE.TXT, the Western Digital backup software creates an XML-formatted file named EXAMPLE.TXT.DCM. That allows the backup program to determine if EXAMPLE.TXT was changed or not. If it did change, the file is added to an incremental backup, and if it did not change, there is no need to back it up again.

Memeo AutoBackup (Backup Information File) by Memeo Inc..dcm files contain important information about a file which is backed up by Memeo AutoBackup. The actual path, the creation date and time of the file, and the checksum value are stored in the .dcm file.

For each backed up file, there should be a corresponding .dcm file. Memeo AutoBackup needs files with extension DCM to perform a full restore. By default these files are set to hidden and they're very small in size: approx. 1kb in size. However if users tend to have View Hidden Files option on then they will be able to see these files without any problems. It is not recommended to delete these files since they don't take up much space and are useful backups.
