Hello ,

I use that component too , with Firebird and coding with Lazarus
( almost like Delphi ) .
I use this kind of code ( it works fine but can probably being
improved ) :

with restore do
begin
ServerName := '';
BackupFile.Clear;

BackupFile.Add('C:\Path\to\myBackupFile\someBackup.FBK');
DatabaseName.Clear;

DatabaseName.Add('C:\Path\to\myRestoredFile\myFDB.FDB');
with Params do
try
begin
Clear;
Add('user_name=sysdba');
Add('password=masterkey');
end;

try
Active := True;
ServiceStart;
while not EOF do
s := s + #13#10 + GetNextLine;

except
on e: Exception do
ShowMessage(E.ClassName + ' error raised, with
message : ' + E.Message);
end;

finally
Active := False;
end;
end;
end;

In the object inspector , I have some properties already set to true (
default value is false ) , there are :
for the options : 'replace' , 'createNewDB' .
protocol : local .

I also use the backup component ( TIBBackup ) and the validate
(TIBValidate) and they works fine with FB 2.1.4 ( good
performances ) , I hope this help .

Cheers ,
Mickaël .
