I am trying to implement an SQL database backup solution based on the sample code you posted on http://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost15065.aspx

So far everything works fine if the database to be backup is hosted on my local computer, but if I am trying to backup a database hosted on my ISP server, the backup is never created.

I modified your sample solution to use SQL User Authentication, and I am able to authenticate, and I don't get any error, so the connection is fine I even added the logic to list the Databases as implemented in the SQLServerConnectionPage.vb so I am sure I am connecting to the ISP database.  Is there a limitation or a security feature in SQL Server that does not allow the backup of a remote database?
