Thanks, I found out the same now, but still have problems with the size of
the produced .fdb files.



I thought this should work:



"C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_1_5\bin\gbak.exe" -c -p 4096 -se -v
localhost:service_mgr I:\Firebird\s6.fbk localhost:I:\Firebird\s6.fdb 500000
localhost:I:\Firebird\s6A.fdb 500000 localhost:I:\Firebird\s6B.fdb -user xxx
-password yyy



But it still caused an error when file size went over 4Gb



In fact I now can't run this as I get:

Cannot attach to services manager.

The Firebird server is running fine.



Is there anything else I should be aware of to do with either the FAT32 disc
or restoring from a IB 5.6 .gbk file?



RBS

On restore, you do not specify size of files in (k/m/g)bytes,
but as number of db pages.
