Hi All


We are getting really slow DB performance during backups, we're a 24/7
company and so cant run them during a down period.



Gbak runs about 6-10% and FBServer runs a good 50% (dual core box so
flat out on one core)

After gbak has finished the fbserver is still running around 50%

Is this normal?



It's a windows 2003 box with fb 1.5



I think the below isn't right, but im a total 'noob' when it comes to
databases



Any help would be greatly appreciated



Cheers

Andrew
