Hi ashwan,

>> Login user as all rights on the network location. But through SSMS I cant access the network location. 

SQL Server backups run in the context of the account that is running SQL Server, it is not the user you are logged in as but the account SQL Server service runs as. Please check to see whether your SQL Service account has access to the share. For more detailed information regarding SQL Server backup & restore to network shared drive, please refer to this blog.

If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Regards,

Hannah

Error 5 = Access denied; as Hannah wrote, the SQL Server service account don't have write permissions on the share.
