Something is wrong with that backup. In your original message, you said: >when I do [a restore) on my linux box >sudo gbak -c VAS.bak vas_db/VAS.fdb >this seems to work fine (alltough i can not use the result) Questions: 1. What did you mean "I can not use the result" ? 2. Are you able to connect to the original database on Linux and see data in the tables? Meaning - do you have a "good" database somewhere? 3. On Linux, what information does FlameRobin provide about the on-disk structure and the status of the database? (You can also get this information using gstat -h, or using the SHOW DATABASE command in isql.) 4. Have you tried making your own gbak backup of the "good" database on the Linux box? 5. Have you tried file-copying the good database onto the Windows box and connecting to it? Helen
