It sounds as though you are providing extra stuff that is turning
into and invalid connection string for the service manager.

Reality check: Servername should be *either* localhost *or* IOTA,
but not both.
DatabasePath should be from the Path property of your IBODatabase
component, not its DatabasePath property.

I'd try to offer a correction to your code snippet but its logic
defies me. I assume you know what it's meant to be doing. But if you
are going to be applying run-time additions to the Params property of
the backupservice object, make sure you Clear the Params
first. (Params.Clear).
