I'm totally aware of the Verify feature and yes it accomplishes the same task. But in order for me to "try to" detect a silent data corruption with the verify feature I need to do a full read-through of the entire disk "just for the verify process". But Bacula does a full read-through of the disk everytime I schedule a Full backup anyway. When bacula is performing the second full backup it will "just automatically" have the abillity to check for silent corruption in "every file that hasn't changed since last full backup". This at "no cost"[1]. Basically just check when inserting the file in the catalog: That if the checksum is changes then some of the metadata is changed too and alert if it isn't.
