Ah, thanks Mark for pointing this out. You are correct and I misled
myself. I included IB_session511.pas in Helen's sample program,
put "fbclient.dll" in there and now the Helen's sample program uses
fbclient.dll.
So now there is the possibility of using IBOAdmin's Backup and
restore functions.

Kind regards
