CHECKSUM Record

The CHECKSUM record contains a hexadecimal number calculated from the contents of the report file. The record protects keyword data reports from manual modification.

CA VM:Backup calculates the CHECKSUM record value for a report when it creates the report. When the owner of a job requests the report for that job, CA VM:Backup calculates the checksum value again. If the two checksum values are not the same, CA VM:Backup does not send the report to the owner.

Important! Do not modify keyword data reports or CHECKSUM records.
