Chris, I _very_ like FB, but take into account this: FB databases
should go through backup-restore time to time. And I suppose restore
of 50Gb database will take more than 24 hours. So, if you can't stop
your service for so large interval, FB and any other IB clone is not
appropriate for you.

Best regards, Alexander.
