• I would imagine backup process "really" depends on your organization's requirements.

    Backup the database with "Checksum" (Just to be safe using checksum)

    Then using a Restore Verify Only

    and using DBCC CheckDb are good.

    Although those above depends on available maint window, it sounds there is tight time constraint if verification happens elsewhere later?
