If you use IBConsole or IBAccess, it is easy. They have commands built-in
that let you just put in the path to the GBK file and setup a database
configuration for the destination and then run restore. What did you use to
backup with? GBak? What system are you on, Linux, Windows?

IBAccess: www.ibaccess.org
There is a version for Windows and Linux.

IBConsole:

You will need a login for codecentral. The link above lists all entries by
the author (Jeff Overcash). IBConsole is for Windows and Linux.

Hope this helps.

Subject: [ib-support] restoring database to firebird


I installed firebird on a server that didn't have a previous version
of InterBase on it. I backed up the InterBase 4.1 database with the
server manager to a .gbk file. I copied the the backedup copy to the
new server. What is the command for restoring to the firebird in
dialect 1 and what about the user passwords from the older database.
They reside on the older system as the isc4.gdb.

Thank you,
Randy
