If you are trying to restore a backup over an existing database, to
which you are even connected then you should thank goodness that
Firebird is stopping you with an error from doing such a dangerous
thing. ;-)

Of course you have to disconnect from a database before you can
*overwrite it* from a backup with a restore operation. I'd also add
that I wouldn't restore over the existing database but always under a
different name. When the restore completes you can then rename files
as necessary and reconnect. This is not specific to fbembed, BTW.

Ciao
