Morning Robert,

I think it's because you are mixing and matching the options on the
command line, but I've not yet used 2.5, (or written the manual!) so I'm
not 100% sure. However, I think you need:

gbak -r C:\data\MY.GBK C:\data\MY.FDB -fix_fss_metadata -user SYSDBA
-password masterkey

Type gbak at the prompt to get a list of the correct usage.


Cheers,
Norman.
