Alan,

A> I think I asked this before too...

what about trying instead? It'd take you about two minutes to find
out... ;-)

A> the embedded server does not get a version number alteration similar to
A> gds32.dll/fbclient.dll

correct (except that fbembed is not a server, that is, but why do I
still need to point it out? ;-)). And a pity, IMHO.

A> so on systems which only have the embedded server,
A> how does the library work with the backupservice?

My version (latest available for Delphi 7) of IBBackupService appears
to work OK with fbembed.dll renamed as gds32.dll. I assume
IBOBackupService would work as well.

Ciao
