you must configure FB to use aother port - the release notes explain how to
do this.

backup/restore is an essential management task which is reuired and best
advised as often as you have an excuse to do so. Don't try to avoid it.

IBConsole should be ditched - IBOConsole is better or Even the Free version
of IBExpert is a better choice.

Maybe 2 hundred laptops would be better off working with the emdedded
server.
