We use the following statement to backup a single gdb or multiple gdbs
into multiple gbks (1900 MB for each gbk):

gbak -b -v -t <database.gdb> stdout | gsplit -split <database.gbk> 1900m
<database2.gbk> 1900m [<database3.gbk> 1900m, ...]

We use this command to restore the gbks into gdbs:

gsplit -join <database.gbk> <database2.gbk> [<database3.gbk>, ...] |
gbak -r -v -c -p 4096 stdin <database.gdb> 511999 <database2.gdb> 511999
[<database3.gdb> 511999, ...]

I hope this helps.
