title: Get backup from a remote SQL Server
body: <p>I'm writing a program to create a backup of a database and I need to be able to access the backup file in my program afterwards. The user should only provide connection information to the database. The server and the client are on the same network but not necessarily in the same domain. The program runs as admin.</p>
  
  <p>My original plan was to create a share on the client using WMI and then execute the backup with that share as target. But I'm having authentication problems. I think I need a way to create a share everyone can connect to without being prompted for a login.</p>
  
  <p>This has to work for Windows XP and 7.</p>
  
  <p>Is this possible? Is there another solution?</p>
