Thanks, I got it running again now with this:



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



See what happens now then.



It would be nice if the FB installation came with some good GUI applications
that made backup and restore easy.

The switch
-se
expects value
localhost:service_mgr
i.e. put "-v" elsewhere.
