NAME
nbackup -- Physical Backup Manager
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the nbackup command.
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the
original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has
documentation you may find in the release notes, included in
firebird2.0-doc package.
