   Oh, really? How server plugin can affect what client utility does?

Hello,

 gbak does not support encryption in the standard Firebird 3.0
distribution.

In IBSurgeon's plugin implementation there is a gbak support,  with
transparent encryption of backups with the same key.
https://ib-aid.com/en/firebird-encryption-plugin-framework/

And restored database from the encrypted backup is also encrypted,
otherwise it will be a security hole.

If you're implementing your own plugin,  you can implement whatever you
need.

Regards,
Alexey Kovyazin

[firebird-support] gbak of encrypted database

[Hamish Moffatt ham...@risingsoftware.com [firebird-support]]

If a db is encrypted with Firebird 3 encryption, is a backup made with 
gbak also encrypted?

https://www.firebirdsql.org/file/community/conference-2016/encrypting-firebird-databases.pdf
 
implies you need to encrypt your backup afterwards so that means no.


Will a restored db from that backup be encrypted automatically or would 
you have to run 'ALTER DATABASE ENCRYPT ...' on the new db afterwards if 
you want it encrypted also?



thanks

Hamish
