Firebird remote backup

Question

I want to backup a firebird database. I am using gbak.exe utility. It works fine.

But, when i want to do a backup from a remote computer, the backup file is stored on the serveur file system. Is there a way to force gbak utility to download backup file ?

Thanks

Answer 1

Backup is stored on the Firebird Server

gbak -b -service remote_fb_ip:service_mgr absolute_path_to_db_file absolute_path_to_backupfile -user SYSDBA -pass masterkey

Backup is stored on the local machine

gbak -b  remote_fb_ip:absolute_path_to_db_file path_to_local_file -user SYSDBA -pass masterkey

see: remote server local backup and gbak documentation
