Backup SQL Server on the network

SQLBackupAndFTP creates standard *.bak files when it runs locally on the same computer where SQL Server is. For remote SQL Server computer backups SQLBackupAndFTP creates backup script files (*.sql). Whenever possible, you should always opt for *.bak backups against *.sql backup files.
