Hi Sjain I would recommend to periodically compute hashes of the files (e.g. using b2-sum command line tool, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BLAKE_(hash_function) ), if a file changes, then it's hash changes (binary or text doesn't matter). When you combine this with a well secured backup, you should be able to detect and identify such changes.
