my BLOB records are plain text phrases, somewhere between 1 and 400 char-s , 
containing setup information (in Delphi I save a TStringList to file and I 
backup that file in my database).  

 My question was about saving these tables with gbak -v (verbose) where I can 
see the time spent to backup / restore each table. Can I speedup this process 
somehow ? 
 

 1. maybe gbak backup without some tables 
 2. maybe some magic gbak switch that "knows" that my BLOBs are text only
 

 

 This is not a showstopper (the largest of my tables of this kind was backed up 
in less than 30 minutes) , I was just asking. 
 

 

 

 Thank you for all the answers, 
 

 Tiberiu
