gbak is usual client application, it needs no special actions to use WireCompression. Just put zlib1.dll near the fbclient.dll and set WireCompression = true at client side (using firebird.conf or DPB). Make sure zlib1.dll is present at server side also. But much more efficient way to do restore via slow network is remote backup\restore (see CORE-2666). Read doc\README.services_extension chapter (4) for details. Regards, Vlad
