Hello, receive an error: "Cannot perform a differential backup for database ..., because a current database backup does not exist." Can't fully understand what to do with this

To resolve this error you will need to take a full backup.
In order to perform a differential backup, SQL Server requires that a valid, full backup has been completed on the database being backed up.
If a full backup has been performed, the following conditions will require that another full backup be taken:
* The recovery model had been changed without taking a full backup
* A SQL maintenance plan task had changed the recovery model (reindexing can cause this)
* A backup specifying TRUNCATE_ONLY had been run on the database
* The database was detached from another server and attached to the current server
Please also see our documentation here:

I hope this helps.
Kind Regards,
