Just to clarify, the "verify only" option simulates a restore operation without 
actually writing any data from the backup to disk. This has two implications:

1. This option is not at all applicable when *creating* a backup (and should 
not even appear as an option there). [There's an open issue for a "create a 
backup, then verify it" feature, but it hasn't been implemented yet: 
https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/1454]

2. Enabling this option when restoring will tell you that it was successful (if 
the simulation was successful), but no data on disk will change. This means, 
for example, that restoring from an older backup first, then restoring from a 
newer backup with "verify only" enabled, will result in the older VMs still 
being the ones on your disk.
