backups

Need to do sql server 2000 database and transaction log
backups. Using the backup wizard. Can back up on the
server machine no problem.
But I need to back up to another M/C which is visibly
connected by the network, and to a CD burner (which is
drive d on the server mc.) I have typed in a variety of
paths for each scenario and nothing is working.
Thank you
AnnAnn,
You need to use the UNC pattern.First create a share in that remote server,
make sure that the account under which SQL Server is running has the
required privileges/permissions on that share.After that, do the backup as:
BACKUP DATABASE <dbname>
TO DISK = '\\destserver\d$\dbbackup.BAK'

\\MachineName\ShareName
or
\\MachineName\Driver$\Folder1\Folder2
