Backup Failing Verification

We run two daily backups: 12:00 pm and 4:30 pm. We have saved and compacted on an irregular basis in the past to re-establish the backups to a verifying state (irregular being anywhere from two weeks to three days).

I'm starting to see a reduction in time between db's failing verification -- currently once a day (12:00 passes, 4:30 fails, then I save and compact).

Is this the sign of a corrupted file/database? or some other process/failure?

What steps should I be taking to rectify this?

I realize that may be a wide-ranging question, any input is appreciated.
