Ivan,

Thank you for your response.

But I don't think so.

First, I am running on a 100Mbps lan.
Second, the messages of the verbose output generated by gbak are local
(gbak application printing to stdout), the gbak (without the -SE switch)
is just a normal client program that performas a <select * from "every
table"> and dump the data on a local file in a specified format. The
data transfer could be slow IF I was on a slow connection that is not
the case.

see you !
