Yes, they do different things. Possibly the better alternative was the other suggestion, just set a scheduled task to touch the file every hour. However, if the scheduled task fails to run, then you have no backup and no warning. If you use the checksum option and confirm it works, you are sure to get the backups, but are just wasting CPU/disk IO during each backup. You need to work out which is more important, IMHO, mainly whether the backup window is large enough to avoid needing any shortcuts.
