In the client config, under save sets, add a line for each instance you want 
backed up.

Ex:

MSSQL$INSTANCE1:
MSSQL$INSTANCE2:
MSSQL$INSTANCE3:

Also make sure you've supplied a remote user & password that has sufficient 
rights for all instances.

When you want to do a restore, launch the Networker User for SQL Server client 
and it will ask you which instance you want to work with.

Hope this helps.

Subject: EXTERNAL: [Networker] Backing up multiple instances of MSSQL server 
db's

We are running MSSQL 2005 on Win2k3.  There are multiple instances of 
databases with the same db name.  When I go to do a restore it is showing 
only one database instance.  How do I configure the backup for two 
instances?  Right now I am under savesets using MSSQL: 

Win2K3     
Networker 7.5.1
