Firebird 2.5 GBak Restore does not create a required USERS table when backing 
up and restoring a Fb2.0-formatted database.

                 Key: CORE-3772
                 URL: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-3772
             Project: Firebird Core
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: GBAK
    Affects Versions: 2.5.1
         Environment: Firebird 2.5.1 on Windows (7, Vista and XP)
            Reporter: Peter Vandel


To reproduce:
  Use Firebird 2.5.1 utility gbak.exe to backup a Firebird database which has 
an old 2.0 format.
  Use Firebird 2.5.1 utility gbak.exe to restore from the backup file made 
above.

The converted database does contain the new (2.1) Monitor tables (like 
MON$ATTACHMENTS, etc.)
HOWEVER, the same database does not contain a USERS (or RDB$USERS) table.

The USERS table is required by gsec.exe to add co-admins users to a custom 
database.
GSec reports the following if USERS does not exist.
"gsec -user sysdba -pass <pw> -database <database name/alias>"
GSEC> disp
gesec reports the following error: "invalid request BLR at offset 37 table 
USERS is not defined".

A workaround can be to create the table yourself in the database.

Ok, I hope this isue can be solved soon.

Thanks in advance,
Peter Vandel.
