We run SQL backup jobs everyday to backup the DB. Our server crashed,
so we're trying to restore the database using the backup file (*.bak)
However, we noticed that we're unable to restore the DB because the
backup file is corrupted. Does anyone have any suggestion how we can
restore the DB? I'm not sure if our MDF & LDF files are good. If MDF &
LDF are also corrupted, how do we restore our DB using the corrupted
backup file? Help!
