What is a ZOB file?

ZOB files mostly belong to enteliBUS Creator.

The ZOB file is a backup file used in building automation. It is produced mainly by enteliBUS Creator and is also associated with Tridium Niagara AX backup systems. The file internally uses the standard ZIP format to compress data such as system configurations, schedules, and settings.
Key details sourced by FilExt.com include:

  • Internally compressed with ZIP to secure and reduce file size.
  • Holds specialized data for automating building management systems.
  • Designed to restore system parameters when needed.
  • May be opened with common ZIP tools, though using the dedicated software ensures full functionality.
