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.

While the backup of a 25 GB database takes only 26 minutes instead of 109 minutes, the restore time is just 18 minutes instead of 175 minutes. How we do this and how you can do it will be explained in our IBExpert and Firebird Power Workshops 2019.
