Subject size specification either missing or incorrect
Author RB Smissaert
Still having troubles restoring a 2.9 Gb .gbk file with FB 1.5 Classic.

I can start the restore fine, but eventually I get the message out of disc
space and I understand that this

happens on a FAT32 drive then the restored .fdb file gets bigger than 4Gb.
The drive I am running the restore on is a FAT32 drive.



According to the documentation I can specify the size of the produced files
and this was my latest attempt:



"C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_1_5\bin\gbak.exe" -c -se
localhost:service_mgr I:\Firebird\s6.fbk localhost:I:\Firebird\s6.fdb 4g
localhost:I:\Firebird\s6A.fdb 4g localhost:I:\Firebird\s6B.fdb -p 4096 -v
-user xxx -password yyy



This caused the error message:

gbak: ERROR: size specification either missing or incorrect for file
localhost:I:\Firebird\s6.fdb



It may be relevant that the .gbk file is a backup file from an Interbase 5.6
database file, that is 3 .gdb files.

I had no trouble before with FB 2 and Super Server to restore this database
file.



Any suggestion what the command text should be to restore this database?
