Commented by: Sean Leyne (seanleyne) Unfortunately, for the most part each engine only support the major ODS (minor ODS version are usually supported between versions) that it is designed/built to work with. So the correct migration order is backup/uninstall old FB/install new FB3/restore. This order for migration doesn't require to version of Firebird to be installed. |

I know I can backup/uninstall old FB/install new FB3/restore.
I think It would be easier to migrate from previuos versions of FB if FB3 could backup databases with previous ODS. The goal is uninstall older Firebird, install newer, backup and immediatly restore a database. This way there is no need of two versions of firebird installed.
It would be also useful when someone send you a database and you are running only FB3.
Thank you.
