Sounds like the user running gbak has insufficient rights to create a file in the target folder.

Re: [firebird-support] gbak error
Can you show us the permissions of the directory that you are trying to write to? And also of the database file that you are trying to back up? And is there an existing fbk that you are trying to overwrite or is it a new file? And what user and group are you using to perform the gbak along with the flags. Does anything show up in dmesg that would indicate some kind of I/O error or hard disk starting to go bad? -steve On Wed, Aug 31, 2016 at 12:41 PM, Nick Upson n...@telensa.com [firebird-support] wrote: > > > its possible that the file is created and removed quickly enough that I > don't see it > > Nick Upson, > Principal Operations Engineer, Telensa Ltd. > Direct +44 (0) 1799 533252, Support Hotline +44 (0) 1799 399200 > > On 31 August 2016 at 17:38, 'Leyne, Sean' s...@broadviewsoftware.com > [firebird-support] wrote: > >> >> >> Nick, >> >> > it either happens on creation or a file is started and then removed >> very >> > quickly >> >> "then removed very quickly"??? >> >> Please elaborate. >> >> >> Sean >> >> > >

Re: [firebird-support] gbak error
Not sure it helps, but I once had my FB backup schedule service stop working after a server software update. It was a Windows server, though, so not sure it applies here.
