We have a database that we want to wipe and replace every week, regardless of whether it is in use. Are these the correct steps? I notice that 'gfix -online' throws an error, probably because the database is online after gbak completes. Is there a way for the restore to not become online during (I found you can connect to the database in the middle of a restore, which breaks the restore) or after gbak?
gfix -shut single -force 1 server:/opt/firebird/db/clone.fdb rm -fv /opt/firebird/db/clone.fdb gbak -v -use_all_space -r /mnt/usb/firebird/clone.fbk server:/opt/firebird/db/clone.fdb gfix -online normal server:/opt/firebird/db/clone.fdb Target shutdown mode is invalid for database "/opt/firebird/db/clone.fdb"
