When connected to the database from another application, here:
C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_3_0>gbak -b -m -t -v
-user sysdba -pas masterkey
"e:\temp\2014 FB Conference.fdb" "e:\temp\2014 FB Conference.bak"
gbak: ERROR:I/O error during "CreateFile (open)" operation for file
"E:\TEMP\201
4 FB CONFERENCE.FDB"
gbak: ERROR: Error while trying to open file
gbak: ERROR: The process cannot access the file because it is being used
by a
nother process.
gbak:Exiting before completion due to errors

Now, when NOT connected from another application, the above command
runs just fine.

I have to look in the >>API guide<< for using a command line tool?

Here's where I looked (which is what Google pointed me to)
http://firebirdsql.org/manual/gbak-cmdline.html#gbak-cmdline-backup

OK, tried that. Connected to the renamed database from another application,
ran this statement:

C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_3_0>gbak -b -m -t
-se martijn-ws-dev/3054:service_mgr
-v -user sysdba -pas masterkey
"e:\temp\2014_FB_Conference.fdb"
"e:\temp\2014_FB_Conference.bak"

(still used quotes, changed spaces into underscores)

It ran just fine.

See above. Strangely enough, it fails when using -se, but not without
using -se.
