Windows XP Pro

Have downloaded the Windows FB 1.5 installer and installed as Classic.

I can see the Firebird server is running in Services and I can stop and
start it.

I have a problem though with running gbak, which I did like this:



gbak -c -p 4096 -v -user xxx -password yyy I:\Firebird\s6.fbk
I:\Firebird\s6.fdb 500000 I:\Firebird\s6A.fdb 500000 I:\Firebird\s6B.fdb



I is a normal (non-mapped) external HD



It fails with this:



gbak: opened file I:\Firebird\s6.fbk

gbak: transportable backup -- data in XDR format

gbak: backup file is compressed

gbak: ERROR: unavailable database

gbak: ERROR: failed to create database I:\Firebird\s6.fdb

gbak: Exiting before completion due to errors



Have tried un-installing and re-installing, but no success.



Any ideas what I am doing wrong here?
