Use the crontab of linux

For example,

Crontab -e

Then in the editor set the following line:

50 16 * * 1-5 /backups/backup.sh

(at 16:50, every day, evey month, from Monday to Friday, execute the
/backups/backup.sh script)

in the /backup/backup.sh script, set

/opt/firebird/gbak -b (-T if you want it transportable) -user sysdba
-password masterkey (or other pwd) /database/db.fdb /backup/db.fbk

you can also add the compression

gzip -9 (for maximum compression) /backup/db.fbk

Subject: [firebird-support] Equivalent of GbakSchd for Linux

Is there an equivalent of the very useful GbakSchd.exe utility for Linux?

I'm looking for a way of doing 'smart' backups, i.e. daily, weekly and
monthly files.

Regards,
