Bpverify "verifies" far less than you think it does. The more I learned about
it, the less interested I was in it.

If you use bpverify, it reads the media and compares the contents of the
media to the catalog.
It does not verify the data itself, only the contents of the catalog as
you said.
I have seen restores fail and bpverify says the tape is ok.
