How to run backup file? Please help guide?I also saved file backup when Setup first.
Easier than you think.
Open wallet - Click "File" on top bar - Click "Backup Wallet"

This led me to save the backup file, not the backup file to restore the wallet.
I think my wallet.dat is corrupted, but i don't know to repair it.
I hope you find a way to help.

I recommend you to read this paragraph 8. Q: https://diamond-info.github.io/#q8
And understand the basic steps which you need to do when you first start the wallet.
The recovery file wallet.dat from the backup, means replacing your file with the backup.
If the name or extension of your backup file differs from the name wallet.dat, you will need to rename it to the name of "wallet" and extension "dat" after the replacement.
After this, you can run your wallet.
Even if in manual mode you have not created backup, your wallet make does it automatically every time you start.
It keeps these copies in a folder backups.
It is written in paragraph: 18. Q: https://diamond-info.github.io/#q18

If you have a backup or private key from your address with the coins, you can always restore your wallet, or transfer coins from one wallet to another.

I recorvered my wallet success. I'm very happy. I recovery by file wallet.1512190078.bak, replace file wallet.dat is corupted.
Thank you very much , Special is team DMD (civan,shveicar).
Good Team DMD always success on jobs and Life.
Ok, I added this useful information: 27. Q: https://diamond-info.github.io/#q27
So now you can use any name for your backups and you don't need to rename it for the start check.

But the default name (which is always first checks the wallet when you start), is the file wallet.dat.
if the file diamond.conf does not specify a string with a different name, the wallet will look for the file wallet.dat and its absence, it will create a new (empty) wallet.dat file
