That is a secondary error - once the server has encountered a serious
internal error, it will not allow other operations to continue because they
might corrupt the on-disk version of the database.

The primary error was:

PEPOSERVER (Server) Thu Jul 21 10:46:17 2011
Database: E:\SISTEMA\PEPO.FDB
internal gds software consistency check (cannot find tip page
(165), file: tra.cpp line: 2500)

The "tip" page is the Transaction Inventory Page - the place where
transaction state is maintained. There are several possible causes of
"cannot find tip page". One is that there have been more than 2**32
transactions since the database was created, but that should cause the
backup to fail as well. Another is a disk error, which should show up in
the system error log, and would also keep the backup from working. Do you
still have the file that gave the error?
