| Is there any way to back up a db on a remote server to a local drive with management studio or any other tool? |

| When using management studio, i tend to have to map a drive within SQL Server to be able to backup remotely because of the way our domains are set up... tryEXEC xp_cmdshell 'net use Z: \\Server\Share /USER:Domain\Username Password'BACKUP DATABASE db TO DISK = 'Z:\Backup.mdf'EXEC xp_cmdshell 'net use Z: /delete' |

| This is on my web host, so I don't have a domain account. |

| You will have to use an account that has access to the share you are trying to back up to.When i say domain, this could be the server name you are backing up to. |
