This page suggests it isn't: http://www.firebirdsql.org/manual/nbackup.html If it's advisable not to use nbackup before 2.5, a big warning up-front would seem to be in order: NBackup should not be used with Firebird server versions prior to 2.5; [risks and reasons here]. And maybe repeat the warning in the "Limitations" section here: http://www.firebirdsql.org/manual/nbackup-overview.html Michael
