When your database crashes following an incomplete backup, the key is to act swiftly and methodically to restore it. Here’s how you can do it:

• Assess the damage: Identify which parts of the database were affected and determine the extent of the data loss.

• Use transaction logs: Leverage transaction logs to recover recent changes that weren't included in the backup.

• Restore from the last good backup: Start with the most recent complete backup, then apply any transaction logs to bring the database up to date.
