Firebird backups with HQbird
HQbird automates Firebird backup and restore on Windows and Linux - verified full backups, dumps, incrementals, cloud copies, and scheduled restore. Firebird 2.5 through 5.0.
What you can run
Verified full backup
gbak-style backup with a test restore and a flexible schedule so you know the file actually restores.
Fast dump
Quick file-level copies when you need a short RPO without a full logical backup.
Incremental (nbackup)
Delta copies for large databases; combine with a full backup scheme.
Cloud copies
Compress and encrypt, then send to FTP or cloud storage (including Amazon S3).
Automatic restore
Restore on a schedule or on demand - useful for a warm copy or a regular restore drill.
VSS and post-commands
Windows Volume Shadow Copy provider for VM-level backups, plus optional commands after a successful backup.
