Repair Suspected Database

Repairing Suspect SQL Database

I experienced a similar situation before, and restoring it was easy before as we have, but that was easier as I have the proper restore points.

So the first thing that came to my mind was to backup the transaction log so I could easily restore the full lot. I tried to backup the transaction log, but I had to remove the suspect status first by running this TSQL:
sp_resetstatus 
Now it was not a suspect anymore, I was hoping to run the backup of transaction log by using this TSQL:
