Problem: V4 --> V5 migration key note. Be aware that we have changed the way that backup and restore external files between v4.x and v5.x. Solution: In InterBase version v4.x when you backup a database with external file relations, GBAK will import the data into the backup file. When you restore the database the once external files are recreated as internal tables. In InterBase version v5.x, GBAK only backs up the external file definition and ignores the actual data in the external file. Thus, when you restore the database there are no records stored internally.
