The basic idea to solve this bug:
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/72987 was to replace .fdb file
stored inside the .odb file with firebird's archive file format. The
problem is that the embedded server seems to be not fully supported
on Linux (http://www.firebirdsql.org/manual/ufb-cs-embedded.html).
If I understand correctly, ours is actually not an "embedded
server", but a "classic server", which validates every login against
the security database (security2.fdb).
The backup of the database can be made through the Service API of
firebird. We need to pass a user (and a password). The Service
Manager tries to validate our user by checking the
"/usr/local/firebird/security2.fdb" security db, which does not
exist in our case.
An idea was (if I got it right) to override path above to our
libreoffice install directory, so we could have a default security
database that the Service Manager can check. I went through the docs
and had a look at the firebird source code, and it seems to me that
unfortunately we cannot override it at all.
If we patch firebird, we can... Plus I read that the distinction
between embedded / classic / super has disappeared with Firebird
3. Maybe Firebird 3 will not have the same issue?
