[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1835856, member: 396914"] I found this statement about the Verify Backup option: I suspect the reason it's there for networked drives is that they are stored in a different format than directly attached drives, so you cannot look into them with Finder on a Networked drive. Without getting too specific, on networked drives TM uses what is known as a sparsebundle, compressing out all the empty space in the files and links to minimize network traffic. On a directly attached drive that compression is not needed as the I/O speeds are sufficiently high to just use normal file transfers. [/QUOTE]
