We do. On every backup run. And to this day, I have never, ever had a 
problem restoring something that the backup software said was OK.

Indeed, if the tape is wearing out, I usually get an error message 
before the verify phase even begins. (Not sure how it manages that, but 
it often reports a CRC error...)
