RE: [Firebird-devel] GBAK Verify/Verbose

[Leyne, S. <sl...@at...>]

Paul,

I couldn't agree more!

The correct term in this case is verbose -- the switch indicates that
the progress of GBAK should be displayed as it operates.  It is what
generates the detailed backup/restore reports.

I wouldn't even care to guess how someone managed to confuse the two
words.

I'll look into also changing the Help screen to indicate that VERIFY is
acceptable but deprecated and subject to future withdrawl (?).
