I'm planning on making the jump to Lion soon and in case something goes wrong, I need to make sure my backups are ready. I see there's a Verify function, but it only works on Time Capsules, which I don't have. Is there any other way?

Yes, use external drive do fresh install on it using the Restore from Time Machine backup option on first boot after the install to confirm everything is as it should be.
