So do you say that if you use gbak -v -b somehost:/path/yourdb.fdb
localpath/backup.fbk
without the -SE switch (and without using aliases) is faster?
I don't see this behaviour (using windows clients against linux classic
servers, maybe because I don't use -SE and aliases?)
gbak is somewhat slower over tcp/ip than local, but not that much.
