I think gbak is only an option if you're local. You can call the API
for these services. (I noticed however that the Classic Server for
Linux does not offer services - SuperServer does.)

Because the API calls require al kinds of tedious and error-prone
low-level stuff like setting up service param blocks and the like, I
recently wrote three easy to use front-end functions IB_Backup,
IB_Restore and IB_VerifyUser to take care of this.

If anybody is interested I can put the source on my website for
download. They are in C++ but they should be easy to transcode to
Pascal.
