Yup, testing seems to confirm it, it is an endian issue.

Thanks David for the pointer,

Hi Flor,

This may be too obvious, but are you copying from PowerPC to Intel by any chance? If so, you need to do the backup as a "WRITE ALL OUTPUT ..." and restore on the other machine by running the script. Because of endian issues you cannot go between architectures using backup.

Hi all,


I apologize for the off topic post, but neither google nor the FrontBase mailing list helped with this, so I figured I'd ask here, maybe somebody will be able to advise.


I am trying to port database from one computer to another. I am trying to do that by exporting backups, copying the backup to another computer, and restoring from that computer. However, I get a message:

Wrong magic number - not a backup file
Failed to restore...

Could someone point out to what "magic number" refers to, and how to work around this?

Or, if there is a better way to copy databases to and fro? An ASCII SQL dump is a pain, for multiple reasons.

Thanks,
Flor
