Optimize Backup and Restore times
All databases require a regular backup, but as you can see in the following example, backup times can vary significantly, even if identical hardware is used and nothing has changed on the network.

IBExpert will soon be launching a new IBEGbak.exe tool, which can greatly speed up the runtimes of your backups and, in particular, the restore process to a backup server.

To compare: Without IBEGbak the backup of a 25GB database took 109 minutes, with IBEGbak only 26 minutes. The restore time has been reduced from 175 minutes to just 18 minutes!

We'll show you how: IBExpert and Firebird Power Workshops 2019.
