Would you please point me to some articles detailing this option?
From the help file:
Select this option if you want the backup job to continue even if the consistency check fails. You may want the job to continue if you think a backup of the database in its current state is better than no backup at all, or if you are backing up a very large database that may have only a small problem.
...which to me says the database is inconsistent or corrupt, not the VSS Snapshot.
I can understand if you're in a dire need of a backup because of space issues with the logs or if it's a very large database and you are moving users out to a new database because small errors don't force the database to dismount, but even still - it seems like that is an option which would normally stay unticked and only be ticked when absolutely necessary.
Sorry, I need to be sure about what's happening when that box is ticked and what situations I will be in if it does find errors and backs up the data anyway.
