are different ways to resolve it.

The error was as mentioned below:Msg 3201, sql server cannot open backup device the system cannot find the file specified Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Cannot open backup device ‘d:\Log\aw.bak'. Operating system error 5(Access is denied.). Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally. Personally, I know this error http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3960257/cannot-open-backup-device-operating-system-error-5 happens whenThere is no directory with LogThere is not enough space on drive d:\There is not enough permissions on d:\Log driveIn my case all of the above were not the reason for above error. The error was there because of the file was read only. There was already another backup file which existed in the folder with the name aw.bak and it was marked as read only. Due to the same http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2014/12/08/sql-server-fix-error-cannot-open-backup-device-operating-system-error-5access-is-denied/ reason, my backup was failing. Once I removed the checkbox for reading only, the backup was successful.Here are few other blog posts related to this error, which I have written earlier.SQL SERVER – FIX – ERROR : Msg 3201, Level 16 Cannot open backup device .
