File types scanned by default

Before you create a list of file types to scan, see the list of file types that are scanned by default. The list of default file types might include all the file types you want to scan, it might nearly be good enough if you add or remove some file types, or you might want to create a smaller list for faster access.

Table 1. Default file types
??_	DL?	IM?	OFT	SMM
ARJ	DOC	INI	OLE	SWF
ASP	DOT	JS?	OV?	SYS
BAT	DRV	LZH	PIF	VBS
BIN	EML	MD?	POT	VS?
CAB	EXE	MPP	PP?	VXD
CDR	GMS	MPT	RAR	WBK
CL?	GZ?	MSG	RTF	WPD
COM	HLP	MSO	SCR	XL?
CSC	HT?	OCX	SHS	XML

Note: In this table, the “?” character is a wildcard that matches any character or no character. For example, ”C??” matches “C”, “CL”, “CPP”, “C++”, and so on.

Attention: To scan all files, use “???”. However, this might severely degrade performance and is not recommended.

You can also configure Data ONTAP so that file extensions not in the default list are scanned, or only a subset of the default file extensions is scanned.
