Add Files to the File Freezer

Because files are constantly updated, it is important to monitor changes made to them. A data center’s change control practices cannot always identify changes that are made to protected data.

The File Freezer Add option adds a file to the CA Auditor freezer database and performs the initial freeze. If you attempt to add files to the freezer database that are already in the database, CA Auditor tells you that these files are duplicates and does not add or refreeze them. The ADD function does not change file information already in the database.
