Noel, they're indeed written to STDERR.
On Windows 2000 and XP, gbak ... -v >gbak.log does write *nothing* to
gbak.log but on screen.
On the other hand, gbak ... -v 2>gbak.log redirect everything to the file.

Opening the STDERR equivalent of the C library for read with Delphi
should get you what you need.
