Is it possible to make a progress meter for gbak?
Even if it prinf'd the stage is was up to: Tables, contraints, procedures,
data, indexes.
Even a counter that went from 1 to 8 would be terrific...

Any ideas? Can the gbak work out(roughly) how long the entire operation will
take?

If anyone has a rough idea/guide, I'd be happy to contribute code to enable
it...

Nige.
