We want to perform daily backups on a single computer using W2K Backup.
Transfer this backup to another off site computer (also W2K) using
pcAnywhere.
Restore the files so they can be accessed on the second computer.
However, we don't know what backup files to transfer file to transfer?
bkf, bks or their locations??

Well, the .bkf file will be the output of the NTBackup job. Where you put it
is kind of up to you...as is where you transfer it to on the other side. How
much data, how big is this file likely to be, and what kind of
timeframe/window are you hoping to meet? Performance could be abyssmal...
you might be better off looking at an online backup service like that
offered by Iron Mountain.
