Confirmed !

I use gbak this way from the very beginning of FB (0.9 beta), both
windows and Linux. Never had a problem.

typical command would be:
gbak localhost:my_database my_database.fbk -user sysdba -password
masterkey -v -t -g

to restore:
gbak my_database.fbk localhost:my_database -user sysdba -password
masterkey -v -t -rep

gbak is a standard client application, why it could not be used with a
TCP/IP connection ?

see you !
