DB backup to another server

How do I configure SQL Server Agent and my Database Maintenance Plans to
enable sending backups to another server via UNC pathnames and restoring
from the same location? Backing up locally and copying files to the other
server doesn't make good use of the functionality of deleting backups older
than a certain number of days.
I've already created a domain admin user, shared the destination folder to
this user will full permissions, set SQL Server Agent to login under the
context of this domain admin user, but my backups still won't go to that
remote server.This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

Have you also configured SQL Server itself to run under that domain account?

Use the full UNC name for the backup destination. You cannot map to a drive
letter.

The SQL Server service has to run under a domain account to do what you
want. That said, you should not use the domain admin account. That's way
to much authority. Create a separate account that can run as a service and
use it.
