gbak is just a console app.

Backup:

gbak -b hostname:c:\path\to\database c:\path\to\fbkfile.fbk -v

Restore

gbak -c c:\path\to\fbkfile.fbk c:\path\to\restoreto.fdb -v

Use gbak -? to get the full list of options

The Firebird Book has a chapter on gbak, and I am sure it will be in
OpGuide.pdf in the IB6 doco.

But there is no need to reinvent the wheel unless you have some
special unusual requirement. There are tools that can do it for you.
Search on firebirdsql.org under tools.
