Time Machine verification failure (again)

Nope it's working fine for me on Sierra. But note that I was experiencing this issue until I added more RAM to my NAS. It's the one repetive symtpom I've observed in every one of my installations. So much so that I completely disabled use of TM until I'd added more RAM. This is controversial because doing so will void your warranty. But in practice I find it makes my NAS adventures far more pleasurable and error free.

I still think it is an apple time machine and file system issue.

I will be interested to see if anyone suffers this issue now that Apple is moving to a more robust (supposedly) file system under the newly announced file system.

Until then, I continue to disable the auto scheduled time machine backup and only run it when I have a controlled environment.

I've not seen anything definitive about how APFS will change Time Machine, but it's pretty safe to say it will have some pretty significant impacts. Some of the HFS+ tricks it uses to track files won't exacdtly work the same, and there are better ways to manage it with APFS. Only time will tell, of course. I've heard some bits to suggest AFS (netatalk) will no longer be used... but not sure if CIFS is the way they'll go. Also something else to see...

I will be somewhat cautious about upgrading to High Sierra though, until the TIme Machine impact and any downstream issues with NAS'es are resolved. This will not be a quiet change for some users....

History says you likely are right.  Usually a major OSX release from Apple drives all the other vendors crazy for a while.
