Why is everyone else not having this problem?  The databases are Firebird databases.  For 15 years we had no corruption from Interbase 6.  Two years ago, we backed up our databases with Interbase 6 gbak and then used Firebird 2.52 to restore them. 

Firebird 2.52 will back them up, but will not restore them without getting the "trigger (3)" error.  Since we have 5 databases, each built by Firebird two years ago from Interbase 6 backups and backed up for two years by Firebird 2.52 gbak, and totally different programs accessing the databases, it appears the corruption is/has been caused by Firebird.

Yet, no one else has seen this problem?

Hi,
 
you tried “also” 3.0 or only 3.0?
If only then try 2.5.5 snapshot
but error is about c++ configuration
 
but first try different think.
Extract all files to different folder then your Firebird installation not only gbak.exe.
Try to run gbak from there. – i suppose that icu or something else is different if you only copy gbak.exe

Got it.  Here is what I got when I tried to execute it:

C:\backups\Buford>gbak -b -v -user SYSDBA -pas masterkey 192.168.1.252:/bfl/smtb
db/customer customer.bak
The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is in
correct. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.e
xe tool for more detail.

What am I missing?

I tried for 3.0, but it would not even run... likely because it needs the 3.0 server running.

Hi,
 
no i mean go to
download e.g. Windows build
Firebird-2.5.5.26887
unzip it and get gbak.exe
and do backup and restore with it

Could not find gback file, but attached is a snapshot of the bin
directory for our download. Is that what you needed?
