She has a great backup script on her blog that will do backups over the network. She even commented the code and explained how they work.

Oh crickety. What is wrong with using a script?

Please backup all of your databases including master, msdb and model on a regular basis. I am tired of telling people they are screwed. The job you save may be your own.

You can create a maintenance job via enterprise manager and path it to your network folder. But remember the path must be from the server’s point of view.

How lazy can you get? She wrote the freaking script for you. It would take longer to create the stupid maintenance plan. Just paste the thing into a job and schedule it.
