  • It is possible.

    Create a database device, then backup your database to this device.

  • You can see the BACKUP DATABASE command on SQL BOL.

    i've seen this before like

    BACKUP DATABASE dbname

    TO DISK = '\\ServerName\ShareFolderName'

    but ServerName can be 88.125.xx.xx ? because it doesn't work:(

  • BACKUP DATABASE dbname

    TO DISK = '\\ServerName\ShareFolderName'

    should work most of the time, IF SQL Server Service account has permission to the \\ServerName and \Folder

    Otherwise, quickest way may be

    1. Backup locally

    2. Copy over the network

    First of all thanks a lot..i guess when i do this on internet create a network between two pc at different location..ServerName must be name of the network. is not ip address, is it?
