Re: [Firebird-test] [FB-Tracker] Commented: (CORE-2666) Make it possible to use API to do remote backups/restores

[Poul D. <pd...@ta...>]

Hi Alex,

I know that the official release of FB2.5 is not yet due - but as we are 
starting hosting service as pilot project now I would very much appreciate 
any input you could give me on this:

- Do you have an estimate of the FB2.5 release date or just release month?
- How soon after the release will you estimate that it will be possible to 
implement the remote backup feature (if possible at all)?

Right now our pilots will have to live with very slow backup/restore (10MB 
database ~ 5 minutes for backup or restore operation) but once out of pilot 
status it needs to go much faster than that. If not possible through FB then 
we must think of some other kind of solution. But a fast GBAK will be much 
preferred - and it will be of benefit to us in other cases as well where we 
want to do remote backups.


Best regards
and thanks
