Oh, lastly, we don't backup (via gbak) directly to tape. Too slow. Once gbak
is finished (backup file on a hard drive) and IB/FB is up and running again.
We use the tape backup software to copy the backed up database file to the
tape.

Without going into the "fine" details (IB/FB under NT and/or W2K)
- We have a backup HOSTS file that does NOT have the gds entry in it.
- We have a .cmd file that does the following:
- Stops the IB Service (under NT or W2K) via a "net stop service"
call
- Rename the current HOST file to a backup name.
- Rename the backup HOST file (without the gds entry in it) to HOST.
This prevents anyone from logging in
once we start IB/FB.
- Restart the IB/FB service with a "Net Start service" call
- Call (invoke) gbak and backup the database
- Lot's of other stuff done here, for error checking and
things...
- .......
- .......
- Stop the IB/FB service again via the "Net Stop service" call
- Rename to HOST file back to the non-gds containing backup
- Rename the original HOST file (with the gds entry) to HOST
- Start the IB/FB service via the "Net Start service" call
Everyone's happy now. Backup's done (and checked in our case, but that's up
to you to do if you wish). No one was logged on during the gbak procedure.

You can shutdown Firebird/Interbase.
Or you can use GBak first to produce a GBK file, and backup on tape that
file.
