1. What is msdb database?

SQL Server Agent uses MSDB database to store information related to the configuration of SQL Server Agent Jobs, Job schedules, Alerts, Operators etc. MSDB also stores information related to configuration of Service Broker, Log Shipping, database backups and restore information, Maintenance Plan Configuration, Configuration of Database Mail, Policy Bases Information of SQL Server 2008 etc.

If the MSDB database is corrupted or damaged then scheduling information used by SQL Server Agent will be lost. This will result in the failure of all scheduled activities.
