I prefer mine: http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/archive/2009/09/08/Backup-SQL-Server-2005-and-2008-Databases.aspx



But do you want to verify that a backup is good or just use a custom script to perform backups? I'm not clear on your wording, which I think is about the same wording I received in an email earlier.

A backup is not considered good until it has been copied to another location (off the local server), restored to a remote server, and then DBCC CHECKDB comes back with no errors. This is documented in Microsoft's article that describes how to properly check backups.

If you just want to verify if a backup was successful, then set it up as a job and then alert on the job success/failure.
