Marco, FB/Rc2 is usable and my opinion it is most usable of all
Interbase versions I've seen starting with IB 4.0. But it inheruted
some problems and rules of safety usage typical for all this family of
servers.
It's often rather easy to fix problem having original gdb file but
it's very difficult to make something having unrestorable gbk only. So
first rule for every IB/FB admin is

NEVER RESTORE DATABASE OVERWRITING ORIGINAL GDB FILE!!!

If you have original gdb file and try to restore from gbk once more
with -v option for gbak and post here last page of it's output,
perhaps me or someone else here can help you with advice how to fix
problem within original gdb before making new gbk. If you have gbk
only I'm afraid only IBPhoenix (perhaps) can help you but not for
free.
