Why aren't you using gbak, which allows to run backups on a live database. No need to turn the database into an exclusive mode. You then can use your backup software to pickup the backup file -- With regards, Thomas Steinmaurer (^TS^) Firebird Technology Evangelist http://www.upscene.com/ Do you care about the future of Firebird?
