Is there an easy way to combine a backup and verify when doing backups
with dump?

On Windows NT it's just a matter of checking a box.  I seem to recall
the last time I looked into this on UNIX there was no easy way to
accomplish a verify operation for a backup, but perhaps things have
changed with FreeBSD 5.3 (?).

I've never had a problem with backup (I backup to DAT tape), but I'd
feel better if every backup was followed by a verify to make sure the
tape is readable.
