FBBackupManager backupManager = new FBBackupManager();
backupManager.setHost("192.168.0.20");
backupManager.setPort(3050);
backupManager.setUser("SYSDBA");
backupManager.setPassword("123456");
backupManager.setDatabase("/dbases/mydb.fdb");
backupManager.setBackupPath("/dbases/mybackup.fbk");
backupManager.setLogger(System.out);
backupManager.setVerbose(true);

The only issue is that in your example gbak will dump data from remote
server to your local disk, in this Java example the backupPath is a path
on the remote server. This is due to the fact that Java API uses
Firebird Services and those operate on server.
