Msde and backup-restore

I'm using Msde on a PC with XP SP2 acting as "server" and accessing a
database on a PC with XP SP2 acting as "client". I can backup my database
from the "client" using UNC format
"\\client.computer.name\share.name\file.name.b kp" but when trying to restore
it from the "client" PC i get errors. Any ideas about how to restore the bkp
file to server pc from the client without having to copy the bkp file to the
server and perform the restore from there? Thanks

what kind of exception do you get?
actually if you can backup on a remote share you should be able to restore
from it too..
the account(s) running the SQL Server and SQL Server Agent must have enought
privileges on the remote share...
