what if a file extension change?
1. Avamar can exclude files by its extension ex: mp3
2. If I change an mp3 ext to txt, then avamar will backup that file even i set an exclusion rule for mp3, cause Avamar dont check content of information.
Question?:
Does anyone from this forum knows about a software that scans the file content or check if the extension of the file is what it is.
I have a client that need to exclude mp3 files from backups, but users change file extensions so Avamar will backup the mp3 files with different extension
thanks for your help

A company called NTP makes a software called QFS which can check for that. But it has nothing to do with Avamar, it is a feature of its quota management software.
