## Current limitations
Until [issue #5064][ee-5064] is completed, background verification doesn't cover
CI job artifacts and traces, LFS objects, or user uploads in file storage.
Verify their integrity manually by following [these instructions][foreground-verification]
on both nodes, and comparing the output between them.
Automatic background verification doesn't cover attachments, LFS objects,
job artifacts, and user uploads in file storage. You can keep track of the
progress to include them in [ee-1430]. For now, you can verify their integrity
manually by following [these instructions][foreground-verification] on both
nodes, and comparing the output between them.
In GitLab EE 12.1, Geo calculates checksums for attachments, LFS objects and
archived traces on secondary nodes after the transfer, compares it with the
stored checksums, and rejects transfers if mismatched. Please note that Geo
currently does not support an automatic way to verify these data if they have
been synced before GitLab EE 12.1.
Data in object storage is **not verified**, as the object store is responsible
for ensuring the integrity of the data.
