Either your DFM fault history database is corrupt, or the transaction log is corrupt. With Daemon Manager shut down, post the list of contents of NMSROOT/databases/dfmFh as well as the OS on which LMS is running.

My OS is Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition (Upgrade SP2)

The content of dfmFh is :

2 files : dfmFh.log (8KB)and dfmFh.db (140 980KB) and a directory "orig" with 3 files :dfmFh.dborig (796KB) odbc.tmpl (1KB)and odbc.tmplorig (1KB).

If It's possible to erase the Dfm database I can do it (But How?).

Do this, shutdown the Daemon Manager service. Delete the dfmFh.log. Run the following command:

NMSROOT\objects\win32\dbsrv9 -f NMSROOT\databases\dfmFh\dfmFh.db

Then you should be able to perform your backup.
