    Many options:

    If you donot have direct access to the other server from your local server,

    1. You could export the data to a taxt file and transfer the text file to your local machine and import using import/export functionality of SQL sevrer management studio(SSMS)

    If you have access to remote server from local server then

    1. Use Linked servers
    2. Use SSIS packages

    If data to be imported for many tables then

    1. you could restore the back up of remote database to your local server with a different database name and then move the required tables to your local database
