If all attempts to restore the master database backup fail, depending on your needs, you may want to consider rebuilding the master database from scratch using rebuildm. If possible, create a new backup of the master database and test a restore of the new backup file. Verify the integrity and accessibility of the destination for the restore, and check that the SQL Server startup account has access to read from and write to that location. Verify the integrity of the media on which the backup resides. Tip: Always back up the database to a different drive than the actual database. If the original master database from which the backup was taken is available, verify the integrity of the original master database with DBCC CHECKDB.

The file itself may have been corrupted, or the original master database from which the backup was taken may have data integrity problems. The backup of the master database that you are restoring is not usable. To restore the master database files, you need to have latest backup of the master.ldf and MDF file.

If you restore other databases in addition to the master database before restoring msdb, Microsoft SQL server loses part of the backup and restore history for the other databases when msdb is restored. Note: These suggestions are not requirements, but following them speeds and simplifies the disaster recovery procedure.

Restore the distribution database for replication, if one exists.

To bring the server online, you can try to restore the system databases from backups. However, you cannot connect to a server instance if there are corruption issues in the system databases.

Restore all other databases in normal mode. SQL Server maintains system databases (master, model, msdb, and resource) for a server instance to operate.

Restore the database immediately after you restore the msdb database. Take a full backup of the master database from the source instance.

Restore the database immediately after you restore the master database.

Stop all applications that may be using this instance of Microsoft SQL Server.
