I want to take the backup of my SQL Server 2005 databases to a remote share for more security of the data. But the system wont let me do that. Can any body have the way to take backup on another remote computer within the domain.

Please help

Have you tried this:
BACKUP DATABASE myDB TO DISK='\\servername\path\myDB.bak' WITH INIT
Be advised that backing up directly to a network share may corrupt the backup file if there is any kind of network issue, even minor hiccups. It is much safer to back up a database to a local disk, then copy the backup file to the remote server.
