Chris,

Would you mind sharing you batch file here ? I have been using the
GBAKsched.exe utility that I downloaded years ago, but have had to
stop compressing the backup file due to its problem with its zip
compression routine.

For my Linux Firebird servers I use a script executed by Cron and it
works great,
