• No - running DBCC CHECKDB on any copy of the database that is maintained by SAN replication, log shipping, mirroring, etc is not good enough. That tells you nothing about the I/O subsystem on the main system. Only doing a full backup+copy+restore is a substitute for DBCC CHECKDB on the main server.
