Subject Problem with GBAK.exe and Firebirs 1.5 and Interbase 6
Author Fabian Chocron
Hi Guys,

a client has Firebird 1.5 over Win2k and Interbase 6 over NT4. So I am trying to backup all databases from 1 .batch
The problem is that gbak (from firebird\bin) works only for Firebirds databases, but when I try to backup the database from interbase it fails, so I had to copy gbak.exe from interbase into a "temp" directory to be able to backup that database. Is it possible to make it work with firebird's gbak.exe?

The instruction is:

gbak -b -user SYSDBA -pas masterkey -SE Server1:service_mgr -T c:\databases\TheIB6DB.gdb d:\BCK_IB6.gbk

and the error message:

gbak: ERROR: Unable to complete network request to host "Server1".
gbak: ERROR: Error reading data from the connection.
gbak: ERROR: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
