Hi Again Folks:

Developing on XP Home, VS2008 Pro, C++, Firebird 2.1.1.17910-0
SuperServer and embedded, ibpp-2-5-3-1.

With a lot of assistance from you kind folks, I can now perform backups and recoveries of a database connected using the embedded server.

The code that performs these tow tasks so reliably, fails when attempting the same on a remote server.

I can understand why this wouldn't work, the service API running on the client PC and the database, run by the SuperServer on another machine.

I'm wondering if this is possible? If so, I'm going to restrict this activity to administrative users. Is it too dangerous from a security point of view? All personal data is encrypted.

Suggestions?

Thanks
Larry
