Hi People,

I've finally gotten around to making DBak available for public (free)
download: http://www.telesiscomputing.com.au/dbk.htm

DBak is an alternative to gbak (it does not use gbak at all).
It performs a backup by duplicating data into another database
(without constraints, triggers or indexes). A database can be
restored via a reverse process that reconstructs the original
database via DDL scripts (extracted using IBObjects metadata
extraction components).

Please read the help file that comes with the package that explains
the various limitations and advantages of DBak vs gbak.

IT IS STILL IN BETA - USE WITH CAUTION

The source code for the components behind the DBak applications
is being made available (for a small fee) - details available from
the above website.
