Don't take a n/w backup. Take the backup on the local server, subsequently copy the file on the n/w.

Use the job to create a daily backup on the local server. Then you can use the windows scheduler to copy this backup file to the n/w.

Also you can use AT command of DOS.

Have you figured out where the backup "went"??? You're not using a mapped network drive are you (for example J:\ that maps to \\server\share\)?

This can be done but is not recommended. It is recommended that you backup to the local disk first then copy the file to the remote server. This can all be done in a job so that it is automated.
