Hi! I have this customer who backups to disk only. Their jobs are backing up the resources first to a local SATA hard disks, then duplicate to external USB3 disks. So far, everythings working as it...

    Other than copying the backup set, the duplicate process also updates the catalog so that you can use the duplicated backup set.

    The verify process for the duplicated backup set is to ensure that it can be read back.  If you skip the verify process, then there is no guarantee that the duplicated backup set is written correctly and can be read back.  The verification process for the source backup set has nothing to do with the verification of the duplicated backup set.
