As far as I am aware it is not implemented yet. See issue

I am not really sure what you mean with this, did you use the setLogger
method? Could you post the code you used? I am not entirely sure if that
would (always) work correctly.

The most convenient for me would be if you forked the Jaybird project on
GitHub, create a branch in your fork with the changes and then create a
pull request which I can then review and merge.

These changes would either need to be made in
org.firebirdsql.management.FBBackupManager, or if combining streaming
backup with existing server-local backup leads to complex code: in a new
"manager" class.

For contributions I want to have a signed contributor license agreement
(see
https://github.com/FirebirdSQL/jaybird/blob/master/licenses/jaybird-icla.txt
) as I want to be able to change to a different open source license in
the future (there are no plans right now, but I like to keep this option
open).
