Backing up a remote server in Windows NT 4.0

Running windows NT 4.0 and I need to start backing up the web server from the main server. I tried this syntax last night. AT 23:00 ntbackup d:\ e:\ f:\ g:\ \\remote_2 d:\ e:\ /a /d daily backup /hc:on /t incremental /l "c:\backlogs\dailylog.txt" /tape:1 according to the log it backed up the main server but ignored the remote server. I thought of maybe mapping a drive to the main server but am not sure exactly how that should be done, or if that is the best solution. Anyone have an Idea? Thanks in advance
