If you checkout the Dunstan Thomas IB site, they have a GBak scheduler for
NT/95 that we have been using. It works really well and it's free.

>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 ?
