Patrick,

Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate that.
I agree that the backup- and restore dialogs are quit complicated.
These dialogs still have a lot of possibilities that where often used
in the past with small disk sizes. I think today they are seldom used
unless you have still to deal with disk space or your database is so
large that it can't fit in a single file.
I am already lookin for a way to simplify things without throwing
everything away.
There is also a question included in your comments.
Yes, you can create the backupfile anywhere if you have sufficient
rights although there are some restrictions. If you want to create a
backupfile on a remote filesystem different from the InterBase server
you better use a uncname. The server runs usually under the system
account and don't have any knowledge of your drive mappings.
