What is a CLBU file

CLBU files mostly belong to Calls Backup & Restore. The *.CLBU file extension is primarily associated with call log backups, notably those created by the Calls Backup & Restore application. These files encapsulate a record of call history, potentially including details such as date, time, duration, and contact information. The specific internal structure of a *.CLBU file is proprietary and can vary based on the application used to create it. While ASUS devices and software are sometimes linked to this file type, it's important to note that *.CLBU is not exclusive to ASUS and can be generated by other call backup and restore utilities. Therefore, encountering a *.CLBU file suggests the presence of saved call logs, but the exact software responsible for its creation might require further investigation.
