Soonhuat, If you are using Firebird in your application then you must be using some form of database connector like Fib+, IBO or a home rolled. Fib+ and IBO come with components that let you run backups and restores with direct calls to the Firebird API.
The only time I would consider using a bat file for backup is with cron jobs. Why am I so reticent? Because SysDba password in clear text is needed for backup. In my applications I use the API and store in registry (or some where accessable) SysDba password encrypted. To hold this value I depend on Computer or NOS security. APIs are easier to use in your program.
