1. dump old database schema using "isql -x"

FBCopy disables triggers by default, so all your data is the same. It also copies generator values.

In that case, you will need to:
- Extract a metadata script for the existing database
- Create a new empty database using v2.1
- Apply the metadata script
- 'Pump' the data between the v2.5 and v2.1 databases
