Well, this is about cmd.exe batch files, and the involvement of Firebird
is only coincidental, which makes me presume that authoritative list
staff might consider your post off-topic.

Here's a helpful link: http://commandwindows.com/

If you think this is on-topic, please provide detailed information on
how exactly your script "does not work" and this pertains to gbak.

In case you need a line continuation character, try the caret (^).
