But, have you tested it? Is it usable?<\/p><p>Merely having your database backed up won&rsquo;t help you. Rather you need a solid backup to protect against db corruption. And for that, you need to test your backup.<\/p><p>The most reliable way to test your backups&nbsp;is to regularly restore a SQL database from the recent good known&nbsp;backup&nbsp;copy, and&nbsp;perform&nbsp;a&nbsp;database integrity check&nbsp;(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/how-to-repair-sql-database-using-dbcc-checkdb-command\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DBCC CHECKDB<\/a>) to validate that your backup files are good.

The utility helps create jobs that can be run at odd hours.<\/p><p>Customized Cron jobs can be used to first detect anomalies in the database and then proceed to repair these anomalies one-by-one.

Often, slow and nested queries result in database problems and an overall lag by taking up more than necessary resources. Create scripts that will identify and optimize these queries and stabilize the SQL Server. At the same time, do not forget to periodically monitor and tune-in the server for ensuring high performance.<\/p><p>Make sure that the connections to the server are limited and optimized. The best way to maintain the overall health of the database is to keep it updated and patched. Doing so will keep the database protected against potential threats such as <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/SQL_Slammer\" target=\"_blank\">SQL slammer computer worm<\/a> &ndash; that affected over 75,000 SQL Servers within 10 minutes of deployment.

It is, therefore, extremely important to monitor all the users and all the connections. From time to time, perform system maintenance to detect server abuse.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/shut-down.png\" alt=\"Prevent SQL Server Database Corruption\" class=\"wp-image-9614 apply-gradient-on-post-images\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/shut-down.png 650w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/shut-down-300x138.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><p>6. <strong><u>Check the Database File Size and The Disk Space <\/u><\/strong><\/p><p>When you&rsquo;ve just started using a new SQL server, database file size will not be an issue. But over time, as the number of users goes up and so does the volume of data, there is a noticeable and, in some cases, threatening increase in the database file size.<\/p><p>Keep in mind that recovering a large database is more difficult than recovering a smaller one. Also, the chances of huge databases getting corrupt are higher than those of small, clean ones. Therefore, it is a good idea to split databases of large sizes and maintain multiple neater versions.<\/p><p><strong>Splitting a database<\/strong> also helps in freeing up adequate disk space on the SQL Server. Free disk space ensures the smooth running of services. It is a good idea to constantly monitor disk space. As soon as you see that free space is slipping below the ideal value, start working on freeing it up.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"501\" height=\"180\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/database-size.png\" alt=\"Prevent SQL Server Database Corruption\" class=\"wp-image-9615 apply-gradient-on-post-images\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/database-size.png 501w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/database-size-300x108.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 501px) 100vw, 501px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><p>7. <strong><u>Hardware and Software Maintenance <\/u><\/strong><\/p><p>Regularly carry out memory checks, network monitoring, hardware-error checks, etc. to avoid bugs and hardware failures that cause SQL data corruption. This kind of preventive measures must be carried out periodically to proactively track the status of all hardware, and if the need arises, to fix all detected issues.<\/p><p>Along with hardware maintenance, comes the software maintenance. Virus and malware can prove extremely dangerous to your SQL Server database. Do not fall prey to such malicious attacks and constantly keep an eye out for malfunctioning of the database. Also, from time to time, check for any traces of virus\/malware infections within the database and use a good software solution to keep them at bay.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/hardware-maintenance-.jpg\" alt=\"Prevent SQL Server Database Corruption\" class=\"wp-image-9616 apply-gradient-on-post-images\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/hardware-maintenance-.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/hardware-maintenance--300x263.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/hardware-maintenance--768x672.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><p><strong>Also read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/sql-database-corruption-dos-and-donts-to-remember\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>SQL Database Corruption: Do&rsquo;s and Don&rsquo;ts to Remember<\/strong><\/a><strong><\/strong><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"here&rsquo;s-what-to-do-when-all-else-fails\">Here&rsquo;s What to Do When All Else Fails<\/h2><p>If despite following the above mentioned preemptive measures, your SQL server database falls prey to corruption, you don&rsquo;t need to panic.
