OK, then forget my idea. However, if you feel up to it, there is a conversation to be had with the firebird devs about backwards compatibility. Ideally, we would write to them something along the lines of: * this fbk file (send them just the fbk file), created with Firebird version XXXX (the one in LibreOffice 7.1) is accepted by runBackupService(isc_action_svc_restore) in Firebird version XXX , although it contains non-conforming data in that a row contains in column XXXX a value of length YYYY chars, but the row is contstrained to maximum ZZZZZ chars. * However, in Firebird version QQQQQ (the one in LibreOffice 7.2), this error * This lead to users not being able to access their data anymore. For reasons of backwards compatibility, would you consider making runBackupService(isc_action_svc_restore) more "be liberal in what it accepts", insofar as it will accept data produced by earlier versions of Firebird? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
