Subject incomplete backup file but gbak errors complaining about the connection
Author james_calfee
I just noticed that when using gbak -r (Firebird 1.5) with the service manager, if the backup file is truncated or incomplete, this is the error:

gbak: ERROR: Error reading data from the connection.
gbak: Exiting before completion due to errors


The backup file is on the same box as the restore file. Both files are local to the service manager but remote to the box where the gbak command was issued.
