• Added per-task option to use Service Manager when performing backup.
• Added per-task option to run actions (custom programs or scripts) before and after execution of backup.
• Adden per-task option for sending an email with error details when there is an error in executing backup task.

About Gbak Scheduler:
GBAK Scheduler is an Interbase / Firebird backup utility that performs regular database backups with a user defined strategy. It is Windows service application. It has been in use since 1997.

Best regards,

Idiorm, a lightweight nearly-zero-configuration object-relational mapper and fluent query builder for PHP5, has been adapted to work with Firebird: https://github.com/j4mie/idiorm/issues/98

Thanks to Mauricio Pistiner for the note!

Port Guardian is a [free] Linux GTK program with GUI to monitor the Firebird Database Server and databases, to check instantly if they are in operation Alive/Dead, Up/Down; and listen/monitor/record the in/out tcp packets on the set net IP and Port.

The basic difference between Port Guardian and most other Net/Port monitoring software is that it is rather a Net/Port security guardian than a net/port traffic controller/statistician. Port Guardian’s major concern is not the bottleneck of the net traffic, but rather WWW — who, when, what has been done on the concerned IP/Port, and will record it to a database to keep it as a history forever; though the packet is as brief as a shadow and gone even before fully shown (size-cut). And as a by-the-way function it can also set alive an instant alarm when user-set critical/sensitive word/phrase is found during the listening/monitoring/recording. Of course it won’t set you on alarm, I hope. In the TO-DO list is kod (kiss-of-death) or tcpkill to terminate a dangerous tcp connection when a hi-alarm is triggered…
