A small issue. I tried to select Verify Backups from the TM menulet, only to find it greyed out and therefore non-selectable. Keeping in mind that I haven't been backing up for a whole day as yet, is there something I can do to check on the backups?
Update:
Okey-dokey. Just checked/spoke with Apple support. Senior advisor advises that he has also experienced this problem and that it's shown up on a number of discussion boards. Engineering is to be consulted for potential problem resolution — which likely means that it may be addressed in a subsequent OS 10.7 update.
In the interim I suspect that it's nothing to be concerned about, namely that TM is properly doing its business.
Okay, here's the 'final' skinny on the issue from the senior advisor who just got word from Apple's engineers:
It seems that this (not being able to verify) is normal behavior in Lion, unless backing up to a network drive. The "local" backups on Lion (which include USB external hard drives) verify automatically.
