Answer 1

yone way you could take a backup from a remote SQL Server instance to your local drive, given the following condition is met:

1. You have a shared folder on your local drive.
2. the shared folder is accessible from the SQL Server box.

Now when specifying the backup command, use the shared folder path when specifying the disk option.
