Hi again

I just tried to manually unlock the db.fdb file and that got rid of the delta file but the file size is still 309 555 - I would have expected it to change if the delta is merged with the database. Is there an explanation of what is happening anywhere?

Thanks again
Tony

Hi all

I am using nbackup with a script to do a daily backup of my database.

I have a situation where the delta file still exists now and the files are

db.fdb size 309 555 date 22 April
db.fdb.delta size 22 500 date 27 May

The last nbackup file is dated 22 April so it failed on that date somehow.

I have backed up with gbak and restored into a new database. This file
is 309 555 in size but the tables look identical to the live database.

I have searched for documentation but am not sure how to resolve the
problem as I suspect the delta file will just continue to grow.

Thanks for any advice.

Tony
