I have a backup file in .gdb format from interbase7.1. I have installed interbase server on my own machine, version is xe7. I opened ibconsole.exe application. Tried to register new database with above mentioned backup file and it says: error on-disc data structure. Let's exclude that file is corrupted: I have got that from State organisation.
Download interbase restore app from supporting websites.
It fixes corrupted part of GDB file
