Hi,

is there a way to backup and restore a database using the service manager?

The documentation gives example without service manager:
tux> gbak -backup emptest stdout | gbak -replace stdin emptest_2

But that needs to open the database in exclusive mode.

I've tried the following code but got errors:
tux> gbak -b -user sysdba -password masterkey -se localhost/3050:service_mgr 
/srv/firebird/db01.fdb stdout | gbak -replace stdin /srv/firebird/test.fdb
tux> gbak: ERROR:expected backup description record
tux> gbak:Exiting before completion due to errors

Regards,
Martin
