Restoring metadata with FbAdmin

Hello !
I was wondering if there was a way to restore the database structure
only (procedures/triggers/etc...) without altering data stored in a
database ?

for example : on a first computer
I can make a backup that includes everything (metadata + data)
I now make a second backup with metadatas only (structure)

On a second computer, I don't want to alter the data stored but only
want to change the structure of the database (I added a varchar on a
table for example in the db stored in the first computer)...
with fbadmin, if I restore the metadata backup on the second computer,
all the data will be erased.

Do you know if it can be done, maybe with a specific parameter ?

Thanks very much !!
Regards
