The backup facility is intended for backing up folders - I suspect it doesn't work for individual files. Try putting work.rar in its own folder (mayber workrar), and then use //192.168.0.13 as the hostname, and sauvegarde/workrar as the source path. Note there is no / before sauvegarde (and use the correct slash direction, which is opposite from windows).
