Hi All,

I have an application which is running in over 800 restaurants and
uses Firebird v1.52. During backups, I use a TIBOBackupService to
create an fbk and this fbk is stored in a zip file.

When restoring, the first step is to delete any fbk files that exist
before trying to restore the zip. Sometimes, this deletion fails
because the fbk is open. If I didn't delete the file, the restore of
the zip would fail for the same reason. The only solution we've found
when this happens is to restart the Firebird Guardian. However, in
the restaurants, the users don't have adequate rights to restart a
service.

This doesn't always happen but it's generating a large number of
support calls. Hense, my customer is blaming Firebird and me for
using Firebird.

Has anyone else seen this problem? If so, how did you deal with it?

Thanks,
Steve
