Would using md5 to verify backed up archive logs be feasible?

What I would do is take the md5 hash of the file before copying and then take the md5 hash of the file in it's new location. Is this overkill? I do not like to rely on the $? variable, because in certain situations it can be wrong.

Any suggestions?

Thx,
CC
