DK> mmm, you did this command SEVERAL TIMES??? Yes, I've do this quite often. I transfer the backup file for a specific database at irregular intervals to do testing and development. So, the file is a new one every time. "Previous restores" means backups from e.g. last month. Why wouldn't I use the same restore command each time I fetch a new backup? Any advice on improvements of the command is most welcome. Latest news should anyone be following this thread: 1. There were no interesting messages in the firebird.log 2. Today's backup was restored without any problems I'll blame the problem on some corruption during the transfer. -- Aage J.
