What is a CBS file?

CBS files mostly belong to Backup by Comodo. Comodo Backup is an application used for local and remote backups which creates CBS file as a backup script. Comodo Backup scans user's system to discover and categorize the different types of files on user's workstation.

CBS format details:

To view or edit CBS files you need to know the file format, because it determines how the data in this file is stored. A file format is determined by the file extension and signature, so JPEG images have the extension .jpg and the first bytes in the file are ÿØÿ. However, different programs can use the same file extension, and file extensions can be assigned incorrectly. When there is a problem with a file, the first step to solving it is to determine the file format. Our examination of the CBS files comes to the following conclusion:

CBS is rarely used as a file extension and covers different formats for different programs. The following file formats are most commonly found in CBS files:

45% of all CBS files are associated with Codebreaker save. These files contain neither text nor words, but only data. Most of these files are 13 KB to 270 KB in size. The file type was created recently. The keywords BASLUS are typical for these files. Such files are related to turismo, gran, grand, theft, auto, smackdown and fantasy.
15% of all CBS files are based on the zip format, that is, a CBS file includes multiple compressed files. Such a ZIP file contains one file. File names inside are always document.json. If you want to see the included files and images, simply rename the file extension to .zip and double-click it. The files are on average 270 bytes in size and range from 270 bytes to 5 KB. The following keywords are characteristic: document.jsonL.
