1. A system for determining and applying a backup file attribution to files, the system comprising:
a memory device with computer-readable program code stored thereon;
at least one processing device operatively coupled to the at least one memory device and at least one communication device, wherein executing the computer-readable program code is configured to cause the at least one processing device to:
receive data associated with a plurality of files, wherein the plurality of files are stored in at least one data store and wherein the data comprises a file type;
determine, by the at least one processing device, each file type for at least one file in the plurality of files is a write-once file or a non-write-once file;
generate, at a first instance, a backup file attribute for each file comprising the file type of the write-once file;
identify, at a second instance, each file comprising the non-write-once file as the file type;
identify, at a third instance and based on each file comprising the non-write-once file as the file type, a backup feature in at least one file from each file comprising the non-write-once file type;
generate, for the at least one file comprising the backup feature, the backup file attribute or the at least one file;
generate a non-backup file attribute for each file from the plurality of files that is not a tape file type, comprises the non-write-once file, and does not comprise the backup feature, and wherein the non-backup feature comprises a non-backup identifier in executable code associated with creating the each file;
apply an immutability feature to the at least one file comprising the tape file type;
store, by the at least one processing device, the backup file attribute in the metadata of each file comprising the write-once file and the backup feature; and
store, by the at least one processing device, each file comprising the backup file attribute in a central record database.
