FYI:

http://firebirdsql.org/manual/gbak-cmdline.html#gbak-cmdline-backup
"-SE[RVICE] <servicename>

This switch causes gbak to backup a remote database via the service manager.
This causes the backup file to be created on the remote server, so the path
format and filename must be valid on the remote server. The servicename is
currently always the text service_mgr."

>> so the path format and filename must be valid on the remote server <<

But Dmitry S says you need to move the host to "service_mgr"?

An example would be nice. ;)
