You should be careful to ensure the hash is not modified by an attacker, since this would allow [tampering with the backup](https://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/83776/should-i-be-worried-about-xts-tampering-when-encrypting-backups-using-veracrypt/83782#83782). One good way to do this is to use an [HMAC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMAC) hash instead of just hashing the backup, or to simply store a copy of the hash securely.
Putting the hash in another VeraCrypt container would be enough, assuming you use the standard XTS mode.
