Is it possible to backup database to file on the other computer, not the one on which the Sql server is instaled.

Certainly:

BACKUP DATABASE myDatabase TO DISK='\\uncComputerName\path\filename.bak'

Look in Books Online under "BACKUP" for more details on syntax. The UNC path must be available to the SQL Server, so you may need to double check network permissions.
