I don't care what Symantec says in their best practice docs, but verifies on your dedupe storage are not so smart. It's their way of covering their butt. But the reality is that, BE has to reassemble all of that data to verify it, which greatly increases the backup times or policy duration.
Verify media that is most susceptible to corruption and that is tape, cheap consumer disk, or large >500GB drives. Outside of that, just don't do it IMO.
