You are right we are using the Classic version. But with Firebird
1.5.2 and linux we have no problems with this.

Just one question, we are migrating from version 1.0.3 and our delphi
application lets the user do its own database backups and restores.
Since now we were doing this with a *.bat file which executes the gbak
command.

Will this be possible now with CS install? or we will have to install
the SS? Are there any other possibilities?

Thanks.
