I am looking at moving from FB 1.5 to 2.1. All of my deployed
databases are using the embedded version of FB--with the DLL. None of
my deployments have a DBA, many users have no idea what a database is.

My understanding is that the database must first be backed up in 1.5
using the 1.5 version of the DLL, then restored in 2.1. Correct?

Should I create a second application that backs the database up, that
is called by my main app? Or are there other ways of doing this?

Any other tips/hints/suggestions?

Thanks
