Good question. The integrity check in the maintenance plan is enough since it will run a
dbcc checkdb. From MSDN:integrity check
Running this task will be resource intensive. You don't want to do this in prod. servers if you don't have a maintenance window.
The common way is the following:
1. Backup your databases
2. Restore your db's on a test environment
3. Run a
dbcc checkdbon your databases.This way you check your DB integrity and verify your backup.
