Backup to Tape Verify taking too long.

I am running SBS 2003 standard edition on a server with a SCSI controller
and an HP StorageWorks SDLT 320 tape drive. The backup works fine but the
SBS2003 Backup config wizard turns on verify by default. This normally would
be a good idea but the backup is so large that it does not complete in time
before the backup job for the following day starts. How does one turn off
verify?

Thanks in advance.
