how to verify the correctness of a backup?

Answer: Restore [a copy of] the database using the backup.

There is no other way to be absolutely sure.

BTW, this holds true for SqlServer, Oracle and anything else that you take backups of, no matter what "options" those products might offer you, to give some "Piece of Mind" that your backup "should" work if you ever need it.

Use it, then you know it works.
