Tom,

I have a simple one that does a gbak and then zip it... the filename are
added with timestamp of the backup. Simple but funcional.

There is a guy at Comunidade Firebird de Lingua Portuguesa (Portuguese
Spoken Firebird Communitty), that are seeking for "beta testers" for the
shell script he made, Contact me privately and we could talk more about it.

see you !
