This works for me:
public void GenerateBackup()
{
FbBackup backupSvc = new FbBackup();
backupSvc.ConnectionString =
Properties.Settings.Default.ConnectionString;
string filePath = "C:\backup.fbk";
backupSvc.BackupFiles.Add(new FbBackupFile(filePath, 2048));
backupSvc.Verbose = true;
backupSvc.Options = FbBackupFlags.IgnoreLimbo;
backupSvc.ServiceOutput += new
ServiceOutputEventHandler(ServiceOutput);
backupSvc.Execute();
}
void ServiceOutput(object sender, ServiceOutputEventArgs e)
{
listBox1.Items.Add(e.Message);
Application.DoEvents();
}
Hope this helps.
