Shane,
AFAIK, ALWAYS use a Backup/Restore cycle when moving a Firebird database
from one computer to another, especially from one OS to a different OS.
Use the Gbak tool on the original machine to create a backup file.
Use the GBak tool on the target machine to restore the backupfile to a
FB database.
Good luck!

[firebird-support]:
I see the Group is on Yahoo. Which I have also an account for a very
long time.
I've been dealing with this company support. https://www.delter.co.za/
<https://www.delter.co.za/>
I'm an IT professional. Support Windows, Linux, Apple Mac.
I have a technical question. When I copy a firebird database, from
Windows to the Linux file system through Windows. Deactivate Linux
firebird 2.5 first then replace the database. Reactivate the database
on Linux. Then start a Windows program that communicates with the
database from an IP address.
The software developer has somehow put a hook in the software. That if
the path has changed the database needs to be reset, as in re-registered.
The big frustration I'm having is the file I'm copying is not corrupt.
But when I'm starting it from the Linux server. It corrupt.
This is according to the support purson from delfin.
Originally the firebird database was working perfectly on the Linux
computer.
There is something in there software to me that has changed that
somehow won't see the Database correctly.
Really hope someone could halp clarify why the database goes from not
corrupt from Windows to corrupt on Linux.
Kind Regards
Shane
