As the backup set is saved on the media, there are some checksums saved as well.  During the verification process, the backup set is read back and the checksums are re-calculated and compared with the saved checksums.  If they all match, then the verification passes.  During the verification process, BE does not access the server/device from which the backup set comes from. This applies to all versions of BE.
