Hi all.
I need to restore a database that was backed up on the 8th December 2005,
but not necessarily to the current live database. On the Fedora Core 3 box,
I run gbak -c -v /backup/database.fbk localhost:/opt/firebird/database.fdb,
but when I compare file sizes, the restored database is 485MB, and the
backup from the 8th is 1.4GB, and it looks like not all the data has come
back. Am I doing something wrong, or what is going on here?
Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Graeme
