You are joking or my gbak has been doing impossible every day for
couple of years.

gbak -USER username -PASSWORD password server:/path/db.gdb D:\db.gbk

works quite well for me and creates the backup file on a local HD.

It is not true. IBX uses services API. gbak also can use them if
you supply appropriate switches. But by default gbak works as
described above.
You don't need to have gbak in order to use TIBBackupService.
