Please submit the reproducible case - including the corrupt database file
needed to reproduce it - to Tech Support. This will be the most direct way
to address the BACKUP DATABASE behaviour.

In the meantime, you do need to review and correct your backup and recovery
process to ensure that you *never* overwrite your last good backup. Two
significant steps that would appear to be missing in your current process
are:

1) Validating the database.
2) Rotating the backups

Another step that is perhaps less obvious is the importance of validating
your full backup of the database and log file in conjuction with moving a
copy of it to a secure offsite storage location.
