Yes, I've do this quite often. I transfer the backup file for a
specific database at irregular intervals to do testing and
development. So, the file is a new one every time. "Previous
restores" means backups from e.g. last month.
Why wouldn't I use the same restore command each time I fetch a new backup?
Any advice on improvements of the command is most welcome.


Latest news should anyone be following this thread:
1. There were no interesting messages in the firebird.log
2. Today's backup was restored without any problems
I'll blame the problem on some corruption during the transfer.
