Time Capsule Backup Update/Apple doc on Time Machine Backups Verification/Issue
I don't own a Time Capsule but posting as a FYI. I assume the Time Capsule Backup Update would appear for TC users. Here's a clip from the Apple doc About "Time Machine completed a verification of your backups. To improve reliability, Time Machine must create a new backup for you."

"Apple has identified an issue on some Time Capsule systems that could potentially make previous backups unavailable. The Time Capsule Backup Update improves reliability of affected Mac OS X v10.6 systems by creating a new backup.

After installing the Time Capsule Backup Update, you may see this alert prior to your next scheduled Time Machine backup:

    Time Machine completed a verification of your backups.
    To improve reliability, Time Machine must create a new backup for you.


    Click "Start New Backup" to create a new backup.
    This will remove your existing backup history.
    This could take several hours.

Products Affected: Mac OS X 10.5, 10.6, Time Capsule, Time Machine..."

See the apple doc for more info, including Additional Information for OS X v10.5 users to determine if you should start a new backup.
