Restoring a FrontBase database
I have a FrontBase database that I am trying to restore. This is a database system I have no experience up until now so this may be a basic question. I am issuing the following command to restore
c:usr>FrontBasebinFrontBase.exe -console -create -restore=c:usrB_2017_03_08-20_36_14 MyDB
And get the error
2017-03-16 11:28:38 FrontBase Server - 8.2.8 64-bit on Windows NT/2000
2017-03-16 11:28:38 Cannot determine keys identity, Wrong magic number - not a backup file
2017-03-16 11:28:38 Failed to restore database from the backup
The backup was actually created on a Mac, I am not sure if the format is portable.
If anyone has experience with Frontbase I would love to hear from them, it doesn't seem to be a common DB.

Is the mac and Windows machines running same version of FrontBase? if not you have to export the database to file format and import it:
On mac :
WRITE ALL OUTPUT(DIR = '<path>', TYPE = 'FrontBase',
CONTENT = TRUE);
On Windows:
script <path>/schema.sql;
