Nero has one nasty habit which the verify does not seem to detect.
It can only build a filesystem down to a specific number of levels. If your
folders are nested, say, 10 levels deep (which windows does sometimes) Nero
will only 'see' the first eight, and ignore the rest. Because it does not
see them, it does not copy them and when it verifies, does not know that
they are missing. The first thing I do after burning a backup is compare
'properties' for file count and total written size.
One day I will find or write a little recursive script to compare file sizes
and contents.
