Local copy of Remote Database?

Is there are direct and simply way to backup a database hosted on a
remote machine to my local workstation without involving sharing out
the hardware(eg: A:\ or some folder in local hdd) or even creating new
accounts which has the admin rights?If you are taking a backup, the backup path is always related to the
server, so you either can backup on a local drive OR backup the data on
a network share (UNC) where both machines have access to. Another copy
of a local database can be done using the DTS wizrad and copying all
objects and data via SQL Server objects copy.
