I want to take a backup of a file which is around 2 GB and I want 650 MB backups. (On Windows)
I tried this on a machine different from the on where the server is running.

gbak -b -user sysdba -pass masterkey server:d:\directory\database.fdb d:\bkup\file1.gbk 650m d:\bkup\file2.gbk 650m and so on and it did not work. It created the three files but once the first file reached 650m gbak exited saying insufficient space.

then i tried
gbak -b -user sysdba -pass masterkey server:d:\directory\database.fdb stdout | fsplit 650000000 d:\bkup\file1.gbk d:\bkup\file2.gbk

That did not work either

So what is the syntax?
