How can I backup my sql server 2008 database on a remote server??

Well most of the Time i access SQL Servers within the same Network, or i remote Desktop. I suggest you look at you Antivirus. Turn it off and see if you can connect, if you can then consider add an Exeption for that Connection in your AV. Again the Errors you get when trying to connect to a Remote SQl Server might lead to a Solution. am not sure what Type of Errors you are Getting.

Here's the error I get An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider) I'll check the antivirus. Thanks a lot.

yes, I know, I've searched these pages but still no access. I will try the antivirus thing and see if I can access it. Also I think it's the network that has a problem. Thanks a lot for all ur help.

Unfortunately the server doesn't allow ftp for security so I can't backup the database and then send it through ftp to the other server. So is there anyway I can do this from sql server 2008? Is there a way to write the url or path of the remote server in order to save the backup file? example: \\1.2.3.4\.... something like that?
i dont know whether your problem is solved or not but just allows remote connections and connect to your remote server , and take backup you can also create jobs/ schedules to do this and database mirroring is also an option , you can also config emails in case of a db backup failure , simple

thanks a lot, I did that using a job that takes a backup every 1 hour daily. The problem is that FTP is blocked on the server so I can't transfer the backup file to another server. Do you have any idea how to do that withour FTP? thanks in advance
