Error: 3241 in sql server

There are two reasons for getting this error. They are:

First reason:

It looks like, you are getting error message due to a mismatch of SQL server versions between the backup and restore. Generally, you can't restore a backup created using higher version to lower version.


Second Reason:

It seems that your backup is corrupted.

Try to take another back up and attempt restore that. If that works, which means this backup has some corruption.
