You can download a PDF manual for the gbak application at
http://www.firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/reference_manuals/user_manuals/Firebird-gbak.pdf

Before backing up:

A simple cold backup:

note the warning just above it about restoring a backup directly to the
source database please!

or:

A remote backup:
http://www.firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/reference_manuals/user_manuals/html/gbak-recipies.html#gbak-recipies-remote

or:

A remote backup over ssh:

HTH.

Cheers,
