FB3 - FDBackUp

[Henry Olive 5]

Good Day,
 

Is a backup operation with FDBackUp safe during all users use the program ? 

Also when i backup with FDBackUp,  BackUp File's size same as actual database 

Is that normal ( No compress )  ?

Thank You

Hi,

You can backup your database even if there are users connected ("warm backup")

Not sure which backup program this is but assuming it uses the backup service of Firebird it is weird that your filesize of the backup is the same as the database itself. Normal gbak already strips out a lot during backup.

 

Depending on the size and usage of your database, the backup should be at least a couple of bytes smaller but it could even be as much as 50% of the DB size.

 

Or does FDBackUp do a backup cycle and a restore cycle right after?

(but even then I would expect some bytes less)
