I've seen this (don't remember which version of Fb, but I think it was last
summer).
I never was able to complete that restore. Other backup files (made the
same way) were fine, however.
It was a small database - about 50MB.


Later:
I think I found a copy of the backup that couldn't be restored, and I am
looking at the contents - it is from June 2002. The first 1/3 of the file
seems fine, but after that there is only zeroes.

A hex dump of the backup looks like:

and so on ...

I guess this is from this table
CREATE TABLE XVETBASE (
VERDI VARCHAR( 16 ) NOT NULL primary key,
FELT SMALLINT NOT NULL,
ID INTEGER NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT INTEG_26 PRIMARY KEY ( VERDI, FELT, ID)
)
