That should be not needed - within the same JVM any connection to the
database should be able to perform the backup, since the database file is
exclusively locked to that process.

So, if you call FBBackupManager with "EMBEDDED" parameter, it should work
straight away. If, for some reason, it does not work, please post a
reproducable test case here.
