Thank you very much for the quick reply.
The scenario that I've setup is Opensuse is the main OS. I'm running
Windows XP on a VirtualBox. So within Windows XP I communicate to the
Linux OS through samba, copying to the folder the database is running. I
do the systemctl stop to Firebird on the Linux Server then restart after
it's finished copying .
I did use the gbak on all the backups. I even tried Flamerobin to
restore resent backups. which it didn't give any errors.
But it does want to be registered and the Defin support person says it
corrupted!!!
If I think of a different scenario were I use an Accounting program
called Turbocash. Take the firebird database copy it to a linux file
system. Use Playonlinux to open Turbocash and open the database that
I've copied from Windows. It works 100% and I can move it back from
Linux to Windows without any fault.

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!

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
