Hello,

Just giving an update on the gbak process.

The gbak finally completed. After deleting the 70 Million records and entering the following gbak command

gbak -v -t -user SYSDBA -password "masterkey" DBNAME.FDB DBNAME.FBK

this process took approx. 88 Hours to complete on the following hardware

Xeon E5410 @ 2.33GHz with 4GB Ram

on Win XP Pro SP3

Firebird 2.1.2.18118 running as superserver

FYI

Thanks to all who helped!

Theodore
