Currently we are running 1.5.3 in our test environment. What I
currently do at the moment is just "/opt/firebird/bin/gbak -r -c -v
db.bak db.fdb && chown firebird:firebird db.bak" to get things back to
a state for rerunning tests again.

What I did the other day was disable automatic sweeping (garbage
collection) on the firebird database in question. Is there any
recommended sweep interval which one should be doing with firebird?
