Hi,

> Is there a way to schedule a backup with firebird?

Either use a task scheduling facility of your operating
system for running a backup script using the correct
gbak call or if you would like to use someting more
GUI driven, then try http://www.sqlly.com/timetobackup.asp

Can't help you here, but it might depend on what route
your are going (see above).
