I got database integrity check task that runs weekly. The job ran March 23rd but failed on March 30th. We have identified that there is a corruption in database and now the task is to restore it from backup (with data loss). We have database backup running every-night and I need to know how can I find which is the latest backup that's not corrupted.
The MSDN documentation says "RESTORE VERIFYONLY" command does not verify whether the structure of the data contained within the backup set is correct. Does it mean the restore command will not able to detect corruption in the database and I just need to restore each of the backs starting from the latest to see if integrity check fails after restore ? OR RESTORE VERIFYONLY will confirm if the database is un-corrupted ?
