I recommend you do the following:

1. Extract your FB 2 meta data
2. Create a new FB 1.5 DB using that SQL script
3. Use IBPUMP to pump your data from FB2 to FB3


You can get IBPUMP from www.clevercomponents.com


You will probably need 2 servers unless you have FB2 running on same
box as FB 1.5, though I am not sure IBPUMP will work as I have never
tried it with 2 different db servers running on same box.

In general, IIRC GBAK is not forward compatible and since FB2 is
beta you should really not be using it in production were the data is
important.

ANyway, hopefully this helps.
