Subsequent to its ingestion, the LOCKSS: Polling and Repair Protocol among the CLOCKSS boxes continuously compares each unit of content at each box with the same unit at a random sample of the other boxes, detecting and repairing any missing or damaged content. The polling process is monitored by LOCKSS team members using internal tools as described in CLOCKSS: Logging and Records.
