Quick question. Currently I am using MSDE and viewing though SQL Server using an external IP address. I was just wondering if it is possible to back up the MSDE data to a different server using a SQL Server job?

If you have enough disk space locally it would be more "robust" to backup to a local disk and then COPY / MOVE the resulting file to the other server. Its easy enough to create a JOB on SQL Server that will do the "Backup" and then immediately do a Command Line task to "Copy / Move" the file.
