What is a DOB file?

They store images, logos, and configuration data for devices such as Yealink IP Phones. For example, 3CX Phone for Windows uses these files for phone backups. In other cases, a DOB file is noted as a Digital Ocean Backup and may even be used as a 3D model file format (sometimes labeled as 'Dobby').
