Go Up to Performing backups and restores using the gbak command


When InterBase checks to see whether the user running gbak is authorized to do so, it determines the user according to the following hierarchy:

  • The -user that is specified, with a correct password, as part of the gbak command.
  • The user and password specified in the ISC_USER and ISC_PASSWORD environment variables, provided they also exist in the InterBase security database. (Setting these environment variables is strongly not recommended, since it is extremely insecure.)
  • UNIX only: If no user is specified at any of the previous levels, InterBase uses the UNIX login if the user is running on the server or on a trusted host.
