GBak does not check correctly parameters and backups random database with -B ":"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CORE-3875
URL: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-3875
Project: Firebird Core
Issue Type: Bug
Components: GBAK
Affects Versions: 2.0.5
Environment: Windows XP SP2, Firebird 2.0.4
Reporter: Semi
Priority: Minor
Given command:
"C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_2_0\bin\gbak.exe" -T -B ":"
"C:\Backup\BackupFileName.FBK" -v
the gbak 2.0.4 picks up some database for backup instead of giving error report.
Having this as a daily backup (due to batch error), it picked up different
databases on different days...
Usual output is:
gbak: ERROR:file is not a valid database
gbak:Exiting before completion due to errors
Sometimes it writes:
gbak: ERROR:I/O error for file "MyDatabaseName
?"
gbak: ERROR: Error while trying to open file
(where the ? is char #04)
In cca 1/10 cases it had backed up some database...
It probably happens only, if another program has a database opened...? It also
backed up the database after some time the last program, that had it opened,
has terminated... (as detected from my logs)
Test batch:
@echo off
:retry
"C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_2_0\bin\gbak.exe" -T -B ":"
"C:\Backup\test.fbk" -v
if errorlevel 1 goto retry
During running this batch, other program starting or terminating sometimes
triggers this...
Using -B "localhost:" also sometimes triggers this error...
