(localhost:c:/path/to/ACC-0007.FDB)

I have tried the following combination and it doesn't work:

1. gbak -b acc-0007.fdb c:\temp\a.gbk
2. gbak -b -t acc-0007.fdb c:\temp\a.gbk
3. gbak -b localhost:C:\db\acc-0007.fdb c:\temp\a.gbk
4. gbak -b -t localhost:C:\db\acc-0007.fdb c:\temp\a.gbk

The RAM is consumed as usual.
