I'm not entirely sure if I understand your scenario correctly. Is the database running at your customer site or are you acting as a service provider and the customers are connecting via e.g. terminal services or similar? How is bandwidth related to backup here? If possible, I would always be in favor for gbak over nbackup due to its logical data processing approach, thus detecting data corruption etc. How large are your databases? -- With regards, Thomas Steinmaurer http://www.upscene.com/ Professional Tools and Services for Firebird FB TraceManager, IB LogManager, Database Health Check, Tuning etc.
