As others have pointed out, the latest FB versions have an updated nbackup


> Why is there a tool that cannot be used in a safe way?

Q1: How do you *know* if a tool is safe in all possible situation/conditions?

A1: You test under all possible conditions?


Q2: Can all possible conditions be predicted/known in advance?

A2: Absolutely not! That is why all software has bugs! 

Hello Sean, I was replying to dimitry s. Have you read his response?

As I understood he was saying to not use nbackup, and if one person involved in any way to firebird says not to use it, then what make him think to others?
