As per original example: Here’s the command: C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_3_0>gbak -b -m -t -se service_mgr –v -user sysdba -pas masterkey "MARTIJN-WS-DEV/3054:e:\temp\2014 FB Conference.fdb" "e:\temp\2014 FB Conference.bak" In my book, this -looks- like a connection string with host. But, Dmitry S said: >> any clue? > > Move "MARTIJN-WS-DEV/3054" from database path to service_mgr path. So I tried: C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_3_0>gbak -b -m -t -se "martijn-ws-dev/3054:service_mgr" -v -user sysdba -pas masterkey "e:\temp\2014 FB Conference.fdb" "e:\temp\2014 FB Conference.bak" gbak: ERROR:multiple sources or destinations specified gbak: ERROR: Exiting before completion due to errors gbak:Exiting before completion due to errors Didn't work. I appreciate your time in answering, but a slightly more useful answer would be appreciated even more ;) And no, I couldn't find this in the documentation.
