Marianne, Very true. If your current database has errors in it and you have never run check/repair, then all prior backups are suspect because they probably contained the errors when they were generated.
Others have stated that they would backup before check/repair which is not a bad idea but based on the above, if errors are found and fixed, then backups of the cleaned database would be preferable to backups which might contain errors.
