sql server backup how to verify, your backup is correct and not corrupted
im go to take adhoc sql full backup, before application upgrade
eg:
BACKUP DATABASE testdb
TO DISK = 'C:\testdb.BAK'
WITH STATS, DESCRIPTION = 'Full backup for AdventureWorks'
GO
how do you I know, my backup is not corrupted, and will work after restore, incase if required
Sorry I dont have environment to test.. it..
Do i need to do consistency check or readability check before take backup, if yes, how can i do that in Tsql?

It really depends on the number of data pages but I wouldn't expect a big difference unless the database is really huge.

It is 700-800 gb around.. thanks
With that size I would turn on the compression for the database backups. It will reduce around 60%-70% of the backup size and time.

Thanks a lot
