Hi all
Firebird 1.5.1
Gbak was busy doing its usual thing last night and this morning reported
that the backup had completed. No suprise there.
I wanted to start the restore procedure but couldnt find the backup file.
Turns outs the backup drive was getting a bit full, so there wasnt enough
space for the new backup file.
Does gbak seriously not have the capablity to check such a simple thing? Or
am I missing something?
I know its good to always check drive space before you do things, but if it
is a gbak limitation this puts a potential dent in automated procedures.
Any input is appreciated,
Gary
