If we do not have a valid database backup in a disaster scenario, we might lose data since the previous successful valid backup. If we cannot restore the backup during such critical scenarios, there is no use of taking backups in the first place.

You cannot restore the database backup because the backup file is corrupt.

In this case, we want to restore the last full SQL backup to recover the database. Due to some unexpected issues such as database corruption, server or hard disk failure, the database is down.

A Database administrator’s key task is to keep the database healthy and available for the users.
