Go Up to About InterBase backup and restore options


You can use either of the following InterBase tools to backup and restore InterBase databases:

  • The gbak command-line tool
Use the InterBase gbak command to specify and execute backup and restore operations from a Windows or Unix command line. Familiarity with isql, InterBase version of SQL is recommended. isql provides a number of options to help tailor your backup and restore to suit different circumstances and environments.
  • The IBConsole
The IBConsole intuitive user interface allows you to use your mouse, context menus, and dialog boxes to specify the type of backup and restore you want to perform. The same backup and restore options that are available using gbak are available through the IBConsole user interface. You do not need to be familiar with command-line operations or with SQL or isql to use IBConsole.

This chapter explains how to use both tools to perform backups and restores.
