It doesn't matter where the system is, as long as you have access on your network and have 'remsh' access to the remote server from the server issuing the command.

# fbackup -f r:/dev/rmt/0m -

It is usual to do a remote backup in that way, but you should consider the amount of data you wanna to backup, in my experience, I usually backup spool info as follows,
fbackup -f serp:/dev/rmt/0m -i /var/spool/lp/ -v

If you can access that machine using remsh this command will work. speed of backup will depend on your network.
