Possibly.

Good status messages between them would be a bit of a problem, probably
have to cobble some kind of message passing to get detailed type stuff.
Most of the time I use our AS/400 to send remote commands to PC's and with
it I get a full stdout from whatever command I run so it's easy, don't know
what I'd do if it were NTS to NTS. Personally I don't use remote command to
back up my SQL server, I just use scheduled events, on both the backup and
the SQL server PC's, to arrange things so the right thing gets backed up
when.
