It's (more or less) equivalent to invoking gbak from a remote node using the
-service_mgr switch. As such, any remote services call must provide
the appropriate access credentials - in the case of IBOBackupService,
for example, that means the username and password of the SYSDBA or
the database owner, since the gbak code does not allow any other
users to perform backups.
