Network backup to what? Disk or tape?
Basically you don't, unless the size is trivially small.

For OS backup, there is ignite, which you can backup to an ignite server.

You may want to look at commercial software like Data Protector.

GNU tar has Remote Tape Server options:

fbackup will use a network tape drive on another HPUX system.

suggest that you learn about ignite or use some incrimental backup utility.
