Hi all,

I have read on the Borland website that server-side backup and restores are
a new feature in Interbase V6. I am currently running 6.0.1.6 and using the
following command: 'gbak -service superman:service_mgr c:\databases\test.gdb
c:\temp\test.gbk' (where superman is the server, c:\databases is the
location and c:\temp is where I want a local backup made)

This fails with the message 'ERROR: cannot open backup file
c:\temp\test.gbk'. I believe this is because it is trying to backup to the
server machine, which doesn't have that directory.... Am I doing something
wrong, or is this functionality broken? I thought I saw a post somewhere
that suggested it was broken...

I would like to backup a database from a different computer to the local
machine. Is it possible to do this with the current version of Interbase?
(or Firebird...)

Thanks in advance.
Anthony
