  I always do a Auto Verify of my Macrium Reflect backups. It's just an
(Advanced) Option in the Backup Definition File. As I make my images
online (VSS takes care of 'freezing' the file system), time isn't really
an issue.

  Perhaps offline backup also has such a verify setting. If so, I
strongly recommend to use that, especially since your images are small.

  My file backups are also done to several sets of disks in a rotating
fashion.

  After an image backup, I always do a file restore of a recently
modified file and compare (UNIX cmp(1)) the contents with that of the
original. If the Auto Verify during backup and the file restore/compare
do not give any errors (which they have never done), I consider the
image to be OK. As the images are also copied to others disks, I think I
have some protection against bit-rot.
