backing up remote database

when I try to schedule a backup, or just do a backup, of a remote database
I get this error message:
"database 'msdb' cannot be opened. It has been marked SUSPECT by recovery."
I can connect to the database and view it.
I checked the error logs and there is no information about this error
listed.
I googled the error but did not find any solutions
Any insights to this error message ?
