The location of the client isn't really the issue. If you want to perform a backup at a specific time relative to the client but the server time is, for example, two hours removed, just adjust the backup schedule by two hours. In other words, if the server is on EST but you want to backup the database at 10PM Mountain time, schedule the EST server to run at midnight.

Just make sure it's not at a peak period. Is it the same database to which you're refering?
