Thanks. I read the Firebird-gbak.pdf in a different way so my main
concern was that a backup of a not converted database file, made with
just the new server, would be useless.

It isn't and everything is fine.
The problems I had here with my local tests have been self made by
me. What else? :-)

Thanks and best regards
