How do you use the Maintenance Plan for a backup to another server. I would like to have all my database backups to not be on the SQL server but on a Backup server.

use an execute SQL task to run a backup command pointing to the UNC path of the share on the backup server.
else use the maintenance plan backup task in the normal way and then have a separate process to copy the backups to the backup server. Personally for speed of recovery I like to have the most recent backups on the SQL server.

When box with SQL server dies,your backups will die. In ssms press f1 and in help window look for BACKUP DATABASE statement.
Ideally I would have production server and its backups on 2 SANs and copy of the backup on some old pc or cheap NAS + the good old tapes ofcourse.

thats why we have DR processes in place. Separate Issue.
thats another reason not to write all your backups to one server, its a SPOF. A backup of the backup server will be required.
