Hi

I have some pb to implemente this componant whereas it seems not very complicated...

I success to active the componant after connection to my database, but it didn't find the result of the backup ????

I didn't find an example of this componant of your demo,
is it possible to add it for a next demo ?

regards

Call the Attach method to connect to the server. Then call the ServiceStart method to create backup. The backup is created in a file specified in the BackupFile property (on the server side).

how do you specify the backup file size? With IBX, this would be possible by adding "=" behind the filename.

Does IBDac support this, if so, how?

When I try to do that, I get a "clumplet too long" error.

Any news on this?

We have fixed this problem. The fix will be included in the next build of IBDAC.

Try to use the following code:

Code: Select all

  GestBag_Backup.Attach;
  GestBag_Backup.ServiceStart;
  while GestBag_Backup.IsServiceRunning do
  begin
    Application.ProcessMessages;
  end;
  GestBag_Backup.Detach;

Thanks for your answer

I received this message for the first time (so better to understand) :

EIBCerror with the message : cannot open backup file C:\Users\EG\Documents\_test.fbk

this helps you ?
where is my mistake ?

This is an InterBase server error.
Please specify the exact version of your InterBase server.

It seems that this problem is connected with the specificity of Firebird server work and not with IBDAC.
Please try to use standard Delphi InterBase Service components and check if the problem still exists. IBDAC IBC Service components have interface that is compatible with standard Delphi InterBase Service components.

Is C:\Users\EG\Documents\ a valid directory on the server?

Hi

Dimon
i tried to use the IBBackupService but i receive during the execution this message :

Interbase library gds32.dll not found in the directory, please install interbase to use this functionnality

I prefere not install interbase, maybe conflict could be occur with firebird !!

Thomas :
Yes this is a valid directory, but anyway i'll test with a public directory (just in case)

It seems that this problem is connected with the Firebird client library work.
