Have you tried creating a directory in C:\ drive & then taking the backup on that?
What about this:
BACKUP DATABASE YourDatabaseName TO DISK = 'C:\BackupDirectory\YourDatabaseName.BAK'
WITH STATS=1
See if this works fine.

Windows has some restrictions about files in the root of a drive, especially C drive. Rather create a folder and write the backup into that. Make sure that the SQL Server service has full control over whatever folder you use. Operating system error 5 is Access Denied.

i want to create backup on desktop.i test it give that error and i check c drive it give me error.i want to exactly put file in desktop.what can i do?

ensure that the account which is running the SQL service has the nessesary rights to write a file into the locations you wish for it to go.

The desktop is not C:\.
The desktop is a folder C:\Users\<logged in user>\Desktop. So that's where you need to write the backup, and you need to ensure that the SQL Server service has full control of that folder (and that there are no other security restrictions from windows)
Why does it have to be the desktop?

is the database stored on many different computers or is it on one central server?
if its on a server and you want it to backup to a users workstation you will have to use UNC paths and start sharing folders and assign the nessesary rights.
if its many different db copies on many different machines, then you need to go into services.msc, find the account running SQL SERVER, and then ensure that account has the correct access to the folders which you can do by right clicking the folder then looking at the security tab.

yes the database is central and is in the server but i cant Find Sql Account on security tab.where exactly is that?
