IBBackupSurgeon is a tool to read and save data from corrupted InterBase/Firebird backups. To read corrupted backup files it uses own direct access layer, without using InterBase or Firebird.

You can browse backup, select tables you need and extract their data to the new or existing database. For extracting it uses InterBase or Firebird server (should be installed separately).

IBBackupSurgeon allows reading and extracting all metadata of database, including text of stored procedures, triggers, computed fields and so on. Metadata are represented in raw text and also in suitable SQL format.
