I use \\ unc path.|||assumed you have SQL installed on your local machine or a machine on local
network and there is an FTP server at the remote network,
on the remote server you can use winrar (has more compression ratio then
winzip) to compress the backups, use DTS on to schedule an FTP job to
transfer the rar file to you local machine.
