Database msdb

The database msdb serves as the SQL Server Agent service, Database Mail, and Service Broker. In this database are stored job definitions, operators, and other objects needed for administration automation. This database also stores some logs such as backup and restore events of each database. If this database is corrupted or missing, SQL Server Agent cannot start.
