CHECKSUM Record

OPTIONAL

In an exception file created by an authorized client, the CHECKSUM record contains a hexadecimal number calculated from the contents of the file.

This record protects files from manual modification. When CA VM:Backup imports a file created by a client, it computes its own checksum value for the file. If that value does not match the value in this record, CA VM:Backup does not import the file.

IMPORTANT! Do not modify CHECKSUM records.

Note: This record is available only through TPI and can only be specified by an authorized client
