Format

Go Up to Performing a full backup using IBConsole

Option values are Transportable and Non-transportable.

To move a database to a machine with an operating system different from the one under which the backup was performed, make sure the Format option is set to Transportable. This option writes data in a generic format, enabling you to move to any machine that supports InterBase.

Important: Never copy a database from one location to another. Back it up and then restore it to the new location.
