SQLWayne has a follow-up on database corruption:
You see the CHECKSUM on the backup along with the RESTORE VERIFYONLY. The code was generated by right clicking on the database, selecting Tasks, then Backup, plug in the parameters, and select Script. I put it in a new query window as I may back up several databases in the same job. Sometimes I’ll just do a find/replace for the other databases since my backup. The Restore Verifyonly gives you some confidence that your backup is recoverable: NEVER assume that just because your backup ran that the database is restorable! The ONLY way to know is to actually restore it to another file! You don’t want to accidentally clobber your production that probably has newer data in it.
Corruption is a serious event when your entire job revolves around protecting data. Be prepared.
