I have backed up a large-ish database (40 GB) into 11 2GB backup files.
I want to restore it into 30 1.5GB database files.
I am using Superserver FB 1.02 latest version.

My command line instruction is (it is wrapped due to email, but is one single
instruction)

The output of the command is as follows

gbak: cannot open backup file /smack/huge/dalton/mcf.1
gbak: Exiting before completion due to errors

It appears that the gbak program can not parse when the backup files end and
the database to be created begins.


Can anyone give me some guidance as to what I am doing wrong?
best regards
