backup database

Hi,
I tried to the following but i'm getting an error near '.' Can someone tell
me if this is correct?
Here is my syntax to backup a database from another location:
BACKUP DATABASE [192.168.160.20].Mydatabase TO DISK =
N'\\BACKUPSERVER\Backup\Mydatabase.bak'You cannot server qualify the database for the backup command. Try below:
BACKUP DATABASE Mydatabase TO DISK =
N'\\BACKUPSERVER\Backup\Mydatabase.bak'
