And the best way to do this (AFAIK), is to set it up as a remote/network drive first of all. Probably don't even have to do a backup just create it (set it up) but if you do, you can stop the backup once it has started etc. Then move the drive locally and it will use the sparsebundle for a local backup (AFAIK). > Ideally, Apple would use one format (sparsebundle) for both. Sadly, ... Hopefully not. I've found sparsebundle to be much more problematic that the local format, with regards to corruption etc. Not that this is a problem of the format itself (AFAIK).
