My backups are made via rsnapshot [rsnapshot.org].
So each one is just a file tree on my backup server that I can cd into and look around as much as I want. So there's no need to verify that they can be restored, because a restore is simply "rsync -avHPi backup-server:/mnt/backups/daily.0/backuped-up-machine-name/ /" onto a newly installed machine followed by waiting for rsync to move the data across the wire.
