You can certainly backup and restore between Windows & Linux version and 32bit & 64bit version so long as you keep an eye on the version numbers and that you are using the same or a newer version where you are restoring it.

Hi, Is there any difference between the database format of a 32bit Firebird database vs a 64bit Firebird database? Is there any difference between a database format running on a windows server vs one on a linux or mac server? In other words: Can you backup and restore between different 32/64 bit servers? Can you backup and restore between windows/linux/mac? Thanks Heine
