gbak from remote

[Dany40]

Hello;

I will try to use:

GBAK -backup -user xxx -password xxx
192.168.1.1:C:\DATOS\MyDatabase.FDB
C:\BACKUPS\MyDatabase.FBK

Will it work only for the default firebird port or there is a way to specify a port?

Thank you!

Yes, you can specify Firebird server port in connection string as described
in documentation.

You can specify the port in the connection string. In the case of the
legacy connection string you're using, you can add `/<port-number>`
after the IP address (or host name):

192.168.1.1/3050:C:\DATOS\MyDatabase.FDB

If you use the modern URL-like connection string, it is:

inet://192.168.1.1:3050/C:\DATOS\MyDatabase.FDB
