How to verify an Apple Time Capsule disk drive

During power failures or outages, I used to wonder about the integrity of the data on the internal Apple Time Capsule disk drive I use for backups.

Turns out I don't have to worry too much about it, as Time Capsule takes care of verifying the disk itself:
"Simply restart your Time Capsule. Time Capsule automatically performs a file system check on the internal drive during startup. If the Time Capsule detects an issue that it can resolve, it will repair the file system of the disk. If an issue is found that cannot be resolved, the Time Capsule's LED will flash amber, and AirPort Utility will state the issue. You should use the most current version of AirPort Utility."
