FYI,I use firebird Ver 1.5.4910, and gbak.exe is placed in d:\dbback so I can sure d:\dbback exist. > - Does the user, under which the Firebird server process is running has > proper rights in that directory? "the user" you mean is [Win7 login user] or [sysdba] ? in Win7, when I use the command gbak.exe -b -g -z -v -user sysdba -password masterkey server:d:\fb\dbdata.fdb d:\dbback\20120831.fbk to backup remote database to local Win7 pc, and the backup process is doing just fine. I don't know how to set the proper right to d:\dbback Regards, Kadee Aon http://www.tw165.com
