See if nbackup documentation needs additional information on how it looks up aliases
See also https://github.com/FirebirdSQL/firebird/issues/8441
Thanks for opening the ticket. I think it would be useful to add the following information to the documentation:
- the way nbackup interprets aliases, i.e. it must be in the fb server folder if we want to use aliases
- service_mgr -action_nbak does not have to be in the fb server folder if want to use aliases
- nbackup.exe has the option to send to stdout, service_mgr -action_nbak does not
These are specifically things that I did not find (or not understand) directly in the documentation, and it is not easy to find on internet either.
