You can certainly backup and restore between Windows & Linux version and 32bit & 64bit version so long as you keep an eye on the version numbers and that you are using the same or a newer version where you are restoring it.

Subject: [firebird-support] database formats?

 

 

Hi,

Is there any difference between the database format of a 32bit Firebird database vs a 64bit Firebird database?
Is there any difference between a database format running on a windows server vs one on a linux or mac server?

In other words:
Can you backup and restore between different 32/64 bit servers?
Can you backup and restore between windows/linux/mac?

Thanks
