Subject Zope/Interbase and Backup Functions
Author Derek Basch
Hello everyone,
Just a quick "how do I do that?" type question. I am using the
kinterbasdb Zope Database Adapter to access my Interbase Server
through a web interface. I would like to build some DB backup
functionality into the interface. It seems you need to use the
Interbase 'gbak' executable or the InterBase Services API functions
to perform backups.

I imagine that I could write something in C++ that uses the Services
API and put a SWIG wrapper around it. Then, call the wrapper with a
Zope External Method (python). This would be a bit of work for me
though, because I have never used SWIG.

Can anyone give me some suggestions on how to add this functionality
to my program? Perhaps a simpler method? Help me mighty guru's!
Thanks,
Derek Basch
