In my case I went to Drive D and created Backup Folder there.Additional Story:If you read the first line of the blog http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2011/04/13/sql-server-fix-error-msg-3201-level-16-cannot-open-backup-device-operating-system-error-5access-is-denied/ post you will read there that I mentioned that I had frustrating experience. It was not frustrating that I do not know the solution - it was totally different reason. When I encountered the above error I quickly went and created the folder in my machine. Once I created the folder, I still keep on getting the error. After a while I realize what I was doing. I was creating the folder in the machine http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2011/12/17/sql-server-fix-error-msg-3201-level-16-cannot-open-backup-device-operating-system-error-3-the-system-cannot-find-the-path-specified/ where I had installed SQL Server Management Studio. To resolve this error one has to create the folder in the machine where SQL Server is installed. Once I created the folder to the location where I was attempting to take backup the issue was resolved.How many of you have been in the same situation as me as mentioned in additional story?Reference : Pinal Dave (http://blog.sqlauthority.com) Tags: SQL Backup and Restore, SQL Error Messages, SQL Server Management Studio4Related Articles SQL SERVER - Unable to start SQL Server Agent - Failed to Initialize SQL Agent log February 29, 2016Pinal Dave SQL SERVER - 2012 Functions - FORMAT() and CONCAT() - An Interesting Usage July 16, 2012Pinal Dave SQL SERVER - Rename a Table Name Containing [ or ] in the Name - Identifier in the Table Name January 25, 2014Pinal Dave 27 comments.
