10.6: Verify Time Machine Backups
Authored by: llee on Feb 04, '11 09:39:27AM

I find the "Verify Backups" menu choice confusing. I would interpret it as an option for verifying backups at the time they are executed, but, as no checkmark to indicate whether such an option is in effect can be seen when viewing the menu item, how can I determine which way the option's status is currently toggled? Read a .plist file maybe? I couldn't find anything in "/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist". Does anyone else know where it might be? Does a defaults shell command for setting the status of such an option exist?

My first edit was to change "any thing" to "anything"
My second edit was to include the explanation of both edits.
