That is different to running backup and restore through the API
(application programming interface).

To run a backup from the command line, do this:

Go to the directory where the gbak.exe program is:

> cd Program Files\Firebird\bin
> gbak -b "C:\Programe Files\\Firebird\Test.gdb" "C:\Programe

Files\Firebird\Test.gbk" -user sysdba -password masterkey

In DOS, paths have to be double-quoted if they include spaces.

Then, for restoring over an existing db file:

> gbak -r "C:\Programe Files\\Firebird\Test.gbk" "C:\Programe

Files\Firebird\Test.gdb" -user sysdba -password masterkey

Or, for restoring to a new db file:

> gbak -c "C:\Programe Files\\Firebird\Test.gbk" "C:\Programe

Files\Firebird\Test1.gdb " -page_size 8192 -user sysdba -password masterkey

Are you sure you didn't get this message on gbak -c[reate] ? It's not
expecting a page_size on the -b[ackup] switch nor on the -r[estore] switch..

Possibly to do with the space in your pathname...

It's not a very great idea to locate your databases in the server
directory, anyway. To keep things tidy, create some space somewhere on
your system, with a simple name, e.g. \data\ to hold databases. Make
backups to a different space, e.g. a directory called \gbk\.
