Interbase 2007 ->2020

[Henry Olive 5]

I wish everyone a healthy day.
 

I upgraded my IB2007 to IB2020

After Install IB2020 i opened IBConsole and tried to connect my

old database(IB2007) for BackUp & Restore but i got

Unsupported on-disk structure for file ...... found 12, support 18
What is wrong ?

Thank You

The legacy way of upgrading ODS is:

 

Make a *backup* of the DB file with the older ODS (On Disk Structure).

Then *restore* the database using the new version, the ODS will upgrade.

 

BUT: Regarding IB i do not know whether you can make the backup using the new server or if you must use the old server version.

IB may even have command line tools to upgrade, i do not know.

The old server. The embedded (Server-)Client should be doing well.

it's right use old version to backup, and restore on new version!

Thank you so much everybody answered my question.
I made old version backup w/o any problem C:\MyData.GBK

but i cant see any Restore choice in New version IbConsole

I tried to add BackUp alias in IBConsole on the left side IbConsole

but you cant show adress of OLD database

Thank You

Log in to the server node itself, then on the backups node right-click it and select restore.  From there should be rather self explanatory.  It is hidden and only available with the server node logged in even though that isn't necessary to do the restore itself.
