No, you cannot restore a backup using the -r switch unless you are sysdba
or owner. Is ccuser the owner?

Need I mention that is very foolish to use the -r switch, anyway?

Let's say that your sysdba password is icuryy4me and you are at the console
of the server, where the backup file is also located, and the file
clientel_neu.gdb does not exist:

E:\cldb>gbak -c e:\cldb\clientel_db.bck e:\cldb\clientel_neu_db.gdb
-v -user sysdba -passw icuryy4me

This tells me you are trying to do this restore from a remote station
and/or you are not supplying the owner or sysba credentials.

Q:\FirebirdTools\bin>gbak -c myserver:e:\cldb\clientel_db.bck
myserver:e:\cldb\clientel_neu_db.gdb -se myserver:service_mgr -v -user
sysdba -passw icuryy4me
