Afternoon Sudheer,

It would appear that your backup file was found to be incomplete,
unfortunately, and gbak is asking for the remainder of the backup.

> I am using Firebird-2.5.4.26856_0_Win32 on Windows 7. The following

J:\accounts.fbk

Was your backup to the flash drive successful? Or did it run out of space?

Cheers,
Norm.
