Hello --
We are running SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard. The Maintenance Plan that is in place involves Full, Differential, and Transaction Log backups. I was doing a check of the backups, and I noticed there are no Checksum and CRC checks in place for the backups. I was told that Maintenance Plans do not have the option of doing the above, and the Verify backup integrity option within Studio is mostly useless alone.
I am planning on creating the backup jobs without using the Maintenance Wizard, and I had several questions concerning this:
1. Can the jobs be created using the WITH CHECKSUM and VERIFY options within Studio, or should I use T-SQL here?
2. How much time is added to the job when including the above options in the job?
