After the data copy is complete, when you run **Prepare to ship**, your data is validated. Data Box generates a list of files and checksums for the data during the validation process. You can download the list of files and verify the list against the files in the source data. For more information, go to [Prepare to ship](data-box-deploy-picked-up.md#prepare-to-ship).

The path to this error log is available when the upload is complete, and you can review the log to take corrective action. Don't delete data from the source without verifying the uploaded data.
