gbak is just a client application that connects to the database,
traverses tables and metadata and dumps their content into the file in
some format. You can write your own application that does the same
thing, but I don't see the point of inventing a wheel.

Another option would be to use ServicesAPI, but they are not supported
in type 4 driver. Type 2 driver seems to support them, but I do not
know how to use it. Ryan, any comments?
