The DSV will check the most recent recovery point to ensure all blocks are accounted for. You may attempt to repair the Disk Safe by running a Disk Safe Verification (DSV) task (introduced in Server Backup v5.2.0) against the Disk Safe with the malformed image. In addition, we do not expect that a corrupt Disk Safe will be successful in a bare metal restore. However, we have no way to determine the extent of the corruption or if the workaround mentioned below will be able to repair the Disk Safe.

In some situations, the Disk Safe may still be usable for restoring recovery points that were created before the Disk Safe reported a corruption. The safest solution is to create a new Disk Safe as soon as Server Backup reports that the database disk image is malformed. Disk Safe viability, in part, relies on the stability of the underlying hardware and Operating System of the host storage device. This error may be caused by a hardware, file system or Operating System fault causing corruption to the Disk Safe file. "Error Server reset(): database disk image is malformed(11)"
