Database corruption is not the same thing as a computer crash.
Corruption can mean that records were updated incorrectly for years, and that the data is invalid and unusable. If that is true, then all backups are invalid too.
That is not a crash.

Thank you. That is the logical explanation. It just seems that they would be periodically checking their data for accuracy.

If the corruption has been ongoing and they have not been doing integrity checks of the data being saved, then yes all the backups may contain crap too.

Ideally the back-up is rotated to become the active file and the backed-up file is stored. Then if there is corruption in the back-up (now active) file, it will be known immediately and corrected.
