First of all you should create a new thread instead of hijacking an

You probably need to restore the backup to a database with a *different*
name (sth. like gbak -c -v blah.../backup.fbk blah.../newname.fdb) and
use one of the datapump utilities available (this may even include qli)
to pump the necessary data from the backup into the live-database.
