For gbak on a windows machine:
"c:\Program files\Firebird\Firebird_2_5\bin\gbak" -c -v -user SYSDBA
-pas masterkey backupfilename.fbk targetfilename.fdb
-c to create a new file
-v to be verbose and show on screen what's happening
- user and password

The Firebird version was not tampered with in this fault. Although
what's I thought was strange is the support person uninstalled
Firebird then re-installed. I never saw him going to Microsoft service
file to stop Firebird.
Could someone give me the script to restore a .fbk file. I kept on
getting a file size error.

Actually I meant the Firebird Server version. Are they the same on
Linux and Windows?
GBak is designed to make a backup on the fly, even with many users
connected and using the database. No need to shut down.
Make sure the gbak-restore creates a new file and does not write into
an existing database file.

I agree with the version, as the company comes out with different
version of there client software, that does an update change.
The other part of not switch off the Firebird before copying would
create a fault even though no one was working on the database?
Because I did try making sure the Client program running from the
Linux server through Samba will be the exact version as the one
running correctly from Windows XP, which works.
Still showing it's corrupted, according to the support person from
Delfin company.

In your description you did not include a step to shutdown the
server or database on Windows before copying it to Linux. Did you
do that?

I've been dealing with this company support.
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 person 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
