- It is your responsibility to ensure that you copy your local data to the folders that correspond to the appropriate data format. For instance, copy block blob data to the folder corrresponding to the appropriate access tier within the *BlockBlob* folder. Frequently used block blobs should be copies to the *Hot* tier's folder within *BlockBlob*. Blobs being archived should be copied to the *BlockBlob_Archive* folder. If the local data format doesn't match the appropriate folder for the chosen storage type, the data upload to Azure fails in a later step.

2. **(Optional but recommended)** After the copy is complete, we strongly recommend that at a minimum you run the `DataBoxDiskValidation.cmd` provided in the *DataBoxDiskImport* folder and select option 1 to validate the files. We also recommend that time permitting, you use option 2 to also generate checksums for validation (may take time depending upon the data size). These steps minimize the chances of any failures when uploading the data to Azure.
