Martijn, you probably know this already...but, just in case you don't:

This works if you want to make an xnet (IPC, "Windows local")
connection to Superserver:

gbak -b xnet://employee e:\test\backup\employee.fbk
-user sysdba -password mccavity

The -se switch obviously won't work because there's no host - same as
in the older versions when connecting "hostless". Formerly the
y-valve recognised a hostless path as a request for IPC connection on
Windows SS but now (on all platforms) it interprets it as a request for
embedded.
