When my application starts, Physical files back-up is taken(auto).
Do you mean that you just copy the database files (mdf and ldf) somewhere for a backup? Do you stop SQL or detach the database to do this?
Could you please guide the kind of Back-up Plan that I can Introduce.
As well as Paul's link, start with SQL Books Online, the section BACKUP DATABASE

Yes, My application Stops Sql Server agent & SQl Server Takes Back-up(mdf and ldf files and starts SQL Server and Server Agent.
Thanks for the Link Paul & GilaMonster

Don't. That's a very poor way to take SQL backups.
Schedule regular database backups (BACKUP DATABASE...). If point in time recovery is required, schedule regular log backups as well. Those backup files can then be copied to tape or whereever you're backing up to, with no downtime required.

I agree GilaMonster. with the help of links provided by you and Paul, Now I am working on back up plan.

Have you checked for hardware-related errors in the system event logs, RAID controller logs, etc?
If same problem occurs again, what all things I should check and post here.
Paul Randal (5/12/2009)
It's likely that something in the h/w setup in each location is causing corruption.
What Hardware Configuration I should check?

Yes, I have checked and attached screen shot of the settings.
Enable write caching on the disk option is enabled.

As you said that the DB goes to suspect now and then and also the h/w check came clean.
Only thing I can think of right now is disk controller.
Refer this KB which briefs about the impact of disk controller caching on SQL Server .

Thanks for the link nilmov. I have read the Article and noted the contents.
In the article it is said that,
Even if the server uses a UPS, this does not guarantee the security of the cached writes.
.
And we have observed, many times Power and UPS failure in the branches, Is it better if I disable Disk Caching Option?
