I need to backup a database on another server. And, unfortunately, I don't
have permission to write to the hard drive on that server.

The only way I can think to do it is table by table, using DTS. I would
need to keep the DDL and sync and then for each table, truncate the
destination and use a Transform Data Task to pull the data across.

Does that sound like a good approach?

Are there any simpler approaches I'm missing?

Thanks!

You do backups to network shares using UNC as the device:

\\server\share\whatever.bak

Or try the copy objects selection in the DTS wizard to get all objects.
Backup/restore is preferred :-)
