матрациThose who are new to the Classic version of Firebird on Linux may find interesting that, while running gbak to backup a database, accessing the DB file locally (not by tcp/ip, etc), you will not find a fb_inet_server proccess serving the gbak connection. This is because, in this specific situation, gbak works in embedded mode. Alex Peshkov says this provides the best performance results.

Hi,
I found this bench : http://tokutek.com/products/iibench/
(http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mdcallag/mysql-patch/mytools/annotate/head%3A/bench/ibench/iibench.py)
and aibench.py:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mdcallag/mysql-patch/mytools/annotate/head%3A/bench/ibench/aibench.pyI made a Firebird version of both. You can download them here : http://www.firebirdsql.org/download/rabbits/pmakowski/
If you find them useful, I will put them in the svn QA repository
It seems that many Firebird developers and administrators are not aware about command line switch -se[rvice] for gbak.exe
-SE[RVICE] <servicename>
This switch causes gbak to backup a remote database via the service manager. This causes the backup file to be created on the remote server, so the path format and filename must be valid on the remote server. The servicename is currently always the text service_mgr.

Firebird is among the listed options in this StackOverflow question. Let’s “up” it 😉
