Cannot perform a differential backup for database, because a current database backup does not exist

Before to solve the following issue: "Cannot perform a differential backup for database, because a current database backup does not exist" let's find out why this error message appears?
First of all, it is necessary to know that a differential backup contains all changes that have been made since the last full database backup. It means that during the restore process you need to restore your last full database backup and only then restore last differential database backup, but not the other way.
