Opening Firebird database (8.15)

Viewed 2499

I'm close to the end of my tether with this so any help would be gratefully received!

Trying to connect with Interbase "IBConsole" and I get the following message:

"Unsupported on-disk structure for file C:\TEMP\SYSTEM.GDB; found 8, support 15"

Searching for this problem suggests I need to run a GBAK on the old version and restore on new version. All "Restore" options in IBConsole are greyed out - so can't seem to do this. Running GBAK to restore on the newer server gives a surreal response:

"gbak: ERROR: Expected backup version 1, 2, or 3. Found 8"

I've installed "RazorSQL" - tried the JDBC driver with following error:

"GDS Exception. 335544379. unsupported on-disk structure for file c:\temp\system.gdb; found 8.15, support"

(same problem with both 2.1.1 JDBC driver and 2.2.4)

How can I open this database file or even convert it?
