Hi Ivens,

I just thought I'd point out that it is possible too attach too a remote
firebird server's services API and invoke GBAK via this. In the previous
example I gave the line

gds.isc_service_attach( "service_mgr", handle, serviceParameterBuffer );

could be changed too read

gds.isc_service_attach( "serverhost:service_mgr", handle,
serviceParameterBuffer );

where 'serverhost' is replaced with the name of the machine too which you
wish too connect. The Interbase 6 ApiGuid contains infomation regarding
this.

As far as I understand this would probarbly be the easiest way of invoking
GBAK on a remote system.

Hi Rick,

Could you answer me just one little thing? It´s possible access gbak
directly from my client computer using RMI or I will need an another program
in the database server to receive de request from client and them run gbak.
Thanks.

Hi Ivens,

There are numerous ways to do this. If your Java app is running on the same
server machine as Firebird you could simply use java.lang.System.exec() to
call gbak from the command line.

You could use java.rmi to do this from a remote Java system.

Anyone knows if it's possible to do a database backup from a java
program? If it's possible where can I get a sample?
