"I dont have backup file"
So how come that couldn't happen to any of us?
One of our servers wasn't running SQL Agent for a couple of days and no backups got made. The LDF grew to 12GB, none of the stale data got deleted by the daily task, there was no CPU-loading information from each minute so the "is the site busy" stuff didn't happen, lada...yada...hahahaha ....
And I thought I had a bunch of failsafe stuff in place to prevent this ....
Either
1) There was no disaster requiring recovery <Lucky!> or 2) I was too shy to ask for help here <Unlucky!>

Ambiguous though ...
"i dont have the backups also. I cant backup and restore the msdb becasuse i cant connect to msdb db now"
I read that one of two ways:
1) Typo in the first bit, backups do indeed exist.
2) "Folk have told me how useful backups are in an emergency, so I'm really keen to backup the MSDB database so that I can Restore it and all will be well"
