firebird is able to do garbage collection during backup which basically
marks space used by old versions of data records as free for reuse.
Generally, you want firebird to perform garbage collection during backup,
since the resulting database file may be smaller.  Or, you could also
perform a database sweep prior to the backup.

hope this helps...



Hi there! thanks for the info about garbage collection,
Here is a another question,How would I Secure Logs while doing the Restore
and backup

im doing this command for Data Restoration : /opt/interbase/bin/gbak -c -p
file.gbak file.gdb

and this for Data backup : /opt/interbase/bin/gbak -t -b file.gdb  file.gbak
