The -encrypt switch requires the name of the encryption defined in the database that is being backed up.

The following example shows how to use the -encrypt and -sep switches to encrypt a sample database backup file:

gbak -b c:\embarcadero\interbase\examples\database\employee.ib employee.ibak -sep 'sep password' -encrypt my_backup_key
