what version of Firebird are you using? Normally the problem with the backup
service (all services) is caused by the versionstring of the gds32.dll (The
Version has to be greater than 6.x) but the final and some (all?) of the
RC's have V1.5. So you need a special version of the gds32.dll. After
installing FB1.5 you got instclient.exe located in the bin directory.
Execute that tool: "instclient i g" and - have a look at the release-notes
where you can find a lot of interesting news ;-).
