I wrote a little windows-service for creating a daily backup of a local Firebird database. I use the TIBCBackupService for it.
On XP or Vista it runs perfect, but under Windows 7 (64bit) I will get the error: "Your user name and passwort are not defined. Ask your database administrator to set up a Firebird login."

The username and passwort are set correct and if I make a backup with other tools (e.g. ibexpert) it works without a problem.

I think, the problem is the service. Does anyone know, if there are restrictions in windows 7 that make such problems?
I use TCP for the connection and I've disabled the firewall for testing.

Any ideas?

Hello,

I cannot reproduce the problem. I've tried to use the following code:

Code: Select all

procedure TIBDAC_Service.ServiceExecute(Sender: TService);
begin
  try
    IBCBackupService1.ClientLibrary := 'fbclient.dll';
    IBCBackupService1.Server := 'server';
    IBCBackupService1.Username := 'sysdba';
    IBCBackupService1.Password := 'masterkey';
    IBCBackupService1.Database := 'database';
    IBCBackupService1.LoginPrompt := False;
    IBCBackupService1.BackupFile.Text := 'filename';
    IBCBackupService1.Attach;
    IBCBackupService1.ServiceStart;
    while IBCBackupService1.IsServiceRunning do;
  finally
    IBCBackupService1.Detach;
  end;
end;

, and there were no problems. Please check if this code works for you. Also check that you are really using the correct user name and password.

Hi Andrey,

thank your for your answer.
I've used the params to set the username and password. That's the mistake.
After I set IBCBackupService1.Username and IBCBackupService1.Password and let the params empty, it works!

Thank you for your advice!
