Other details or mentions

Upon running the Invoke-DbaDbLogShipping command as described above the first time, I get the described error. If I run it a second time, I do not (the folder existence check succeeds). Seems there is latency in creating the folder that might be unaccounted for in the Invoke-DbaDbLogShipping process?

I don't see a mechanism to pass the mentioned "-IgnoreFileChecks" argument from Invoke-DbaDbLogShipping command to the erroring sub commandlet, Backup-DbaDatabase that seems to need it.
