I am getting this error while running nbackup:
 
"nbackup needs local access to database file"
 
The nbackup sentence is:
 
Nbackup.exe -user SYSDBA -pas HereMyPass   -B  0      localhost:MyDB_FB3.fdb    C:\temp\MyDB_Level_0.nbk
 
If I remove localhost: then it works, but that would be running as embebed and it is a superserver with active network connections.
 
Any ideas?

Subject: [firebird-support] Gbak performance issues on FB3

I am running both gbak.exe and nbackup.exe on an FB3 server with Windows 2012 R2 64 bits, 24 processor, 192 GB ram, the nbackup.exe level zero is much faster than the gbak.exe (does not make any sense, it should take about the same time as gbak), both running locally but connecting using the super server (localhost:database_name); any ideas why gbak.exe is so slow?
 
The test database size is 70GB,
gbak takes 01:07:00 to complete,
nbackup.exe level zero takes 13 minutes, that is 5 times faster than gbak... something is not right, any ideas????
