Time Machine verification failure (again)
I know this has been discussed before but it seems like a perennial question. The problem occurred with my ReadyNAS Duo every few months and this is the second time it has happened with my RN102 ...

I do understand the frustration.
I don't work for Netgear so I can't commit them to anything. You could try a support case, Or perhaps PM some netgear folks here, and ask what else you could do.

I appreciate that you aren't responsible and I have submitted a support request.
I was searching again for answers and found a response from a Level 10 (175k+ points) support person on the Apple discussion site which typifies what I said earlier:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3795735
'Using a third-party NAS as a Time Machine backup destination is unsupported by Apple and should be considered risky. Your only recourse if you have problems is the NAS vendor, who will blame the problem on Apple.'
I have found Terminal commands which supposedly fix the problem but to be honest, I feel out of my depth at that point.
