OK, your backup is corrupt. That probably means that your Q data file is corrupt also.
Have you tried restoring from another backup, until you find one that isn't corrupt?
Also, how did you determine that it's corrupt?
And, what Q product are your running? What BUILD of Q? This info can be found at HELP, About Quicken.

The fix for a corrupt backup is to restore from an older version until the corruption is resolved. There is no other recourse. Your posting makes it sound as if you have only one backup. You should have multiple backups, both system generated and manual.

I am running quicken XG 2004 the only other backup that isn't corrupt is 5 years older so 5 years worth of data lost. Anything els I can do?

Unless intentionally disabled, Quicken is making system backups when you exit the app. Have you looked for those system backups? Are you not making any manual backups?
