Firebird backup script

This is my first released backup script for Firebird RDBMS. It automagically search for all Firebird databases from a central directory, uses gfix to validate them, then backup + gzip them to a central backup directory keeping only 5 last successful backups.

It may be used as a cron script to automate Firebird databases backup.

Bergamo – the end

Yesterday was the final day of the Intl. Firebird Conference, in Bergamo. It was really a great time, and it is always good to meet with Firebird friends. I guess this personal contact is very important for the team, and the yearly conferences is the right place to put many of the core developers together and have lots of good conversation, beer wine and fun!

I would like to thanks P-Soft (Fabio) who organized this year conference. This is not an easy task, but everything was perfect. Thanks!

I hope to meet many of you again in the next year. Go Firebird!

Carlos H. Cantu

It’s a very light-weight solution (implemented with wxWidgets) as opposed to Tora, which tries to be universal, but is very huge and takes a while to load.
