hmmm, wrong. a corrupt backup file can be created.
You need to test the exit code of gbak. And you then need to restore to a
test restore filename and test the exit code again before you can be sure
that the backup is successful.

wrong again - see above.
and never replace it. Always rename the original, name the restored to the
old filename and always keep the previosuly non backup copy of the DB in
case all these proccedures are faulty.
