What exactly are you copying? How are you moving the database from Windows to Linux, what are the exact steps and commands used? If you were using gbak to backup and restore, there would be no need to stop Firebird on your Linux server. So it sounds like you are copying the database file itself, instead of using gbak to back it up on Windows and then - using gbak - restore it on Linux. > I did use the gbak on all the backups.

Then possibly this might be a problem with the application and not so much with the database. You would need to contact support of your application for more help. Mark -- Mark Rotteveel
