Subject Cannot perform backup when Firebird runs as a Service
Author Jacob Eckel
When I run Firebird v1.5 as a service the following error occurs during
backup:
"C:\Program Files\Firebird\bin\gbak" -b -user bla -pass
blabla "C:\Track+\Database\TRACK.GDB" c:\Temp\TRACK.GBK
gbak: ERROR: unavailable database
gbak: Exiting before completion due to errors

The same backup command succeeds when I switch to application mode.
I work on Windows 2003 Server.
