Hi,
I've got some code, simplified as follows
SourceStr:='C:\MYDB.GDB';
TargetStr:='C:\MYDB.GBAK';
// Gets the root directory of the IB install
PathStr:=GetRegistryValue(IBREG_ROOTKEY, IBREG_SUBKEY, IBREG_ROOTDIR) + 'BIN';
ParamStr:='-B -user SYSDBA -password masterkey ' + SourceStr + ' ' + TargetStr;
ExecuteFile('GBAK.EXE', ParamStr, PathStr, SW_HIDE);
Running GBAK from a DOS prompt with exactly the same parameters works fine. It just
seems ExecuteFile will not do its bit. Any ideas whats wrong. The only issue I've
faced is ParamStr was too long for ExecuteFile (MYDB.GDB is only an example, it's
actually a longer path). I changed the param for ExecuteFile in FMXUtils from
array[0..79] of Char to array[0..128] of Char. Any ideas appreciated.
OR, is there a better was to do a quick and simple online backup ?
TIA
