Backing up database on a Firebird Server

I did not set up the firebird server so I am not very familiar with how everything works.
I am attempting to back up our database, but I am stuck at this step “3. Replace the default SYSDBA password “masterkey” with the password you set in the configuration of the network Firebird server if applicable”

Where might I find this password within the Firebird folders?
Thanks!
Charlotte

Hi Charlotte

If not familiar with a previous setting, just a heads for the future - you can easily review the steps of whatever it is also in the AyaNova online Help documentation.
For example, the Firebird Server networking steps for AyaNova are available via http://www.ayanova.com/AyaNova7webHelp/network_firebird_server_config.htm
With the specific step about editing the configuration file being step #6

Open your existing configuration file config.txt in your AyaNova program folder (default location is C:\Program Files\Ground Zero Tech-Works Inc\AyaNova and you can also find this by viewing the properties of your AyaNova desktop icon)
Compare to the example screenshot and details in step #6 of http://www.ayanova.com/AyaNova7webHelp/network_firebird_server_config.htm
so you can see what the password is, if changed from the default.
