We have a user that has had FB 2.1, and was running gbak with a command line of the form:
>"C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_2_1\bin\gbak.exe" -backup -verify -Y "C:\ATBackup\AUCTIONTRACKER.LOG" "C:\Tracker\Auct-Tr\AUCTIONTRACKER.FDB" "C:\ATBackup\AUCTIONTRACKER.FBK" Note: Did not require -user or -password. When he upgraded to FB 2.5, this command line format would no longer work. It now requires the -user and -password switches with valid username & password. I've got a WinXP box set up with FB2.1, and a Win7 box set up with FB2.5. I've run tests with successful backup under 2.1 with no user/password; then ran it on my Win7/FB2.5 box and got the same result as the user. Command line would only work with a valid user/password. In neither case were the ISC_USER or ISC_PASSWORD enviornment variables set. What's changed? Has the new version of gbak become more stringent? Any clues appreciated.
