Searching the files using the file hash

You can search the files using the file hash. You must configure the file hash server and enable the Calculate file hash option in the policy on the web UI. After this option is enabled, SHA-256 information is saved to the NetBackup catalog and the file hash server.

To search the files using the file hash

  1. On the left, click Catalog.
  2. On the Search tab, select File hash search from the Actions list.
  3. You can add a tag for your search in Tag this search.

    Later, you can filter the file hash search results with this tag.

  4. Enter the list of SHA-256 hash strings of the files to search the files.

    It searches the entire image catalog, which may take some time. You can see the job status and results in the Activity monitor.
