just try this one:

1)Share a folder with full permission in your computer

2) in your SQL server : control panel -> administrative tools -> services -> right click on all SQL services

on log on tab should start with your domain administrator

3) in maintenance wizard of sql server place the back up location and folder (\yourcomputername\sharedfoldernam)
