Well, the first thing to do is NOT to change any metadata (incl.
SP's) that use the new Fb 2 features.

The next thing to do is take a copy of gbak.exe from Firebird 1.5 and
give it a new name (gbak15.exe will do fine).

Copy that to the bin directory of your your Fb 2 installation.

Use that to back up your database in a format that the Fb 1.5 server
can restore.

So, obviously, your commandline command will be gbak15, not gbak. ;-)
