Maintenance Plans and Integrity checks

Just inherited a couple os SQL V7 servers and am reviewing the backups they
have been doing. New to SQL server.
In Enterprise Manager in the plan window I see two intregrity options
1) check database integrity (which is not checked)
2) verify the intergrity of the backup upon completion (checked)
What is number 2 doing?
If #1 is not checked, it seems to me their is no DBCC being run. So far I
cannot get their ops dept to send me the job logs for these backups so at
this point want to make sure from what I can see in Enterprise Manager that
they are running consistancy checks.
Thanks

If #1 is not checked and there are no other jobs doing this that means there
are no DBCC CHECKDB's being run.
#2 refers to issuing a Verify against the backup after it completes and does
not pertain to DBCC's.
