Manual back of database error

Hi

I am attempting to take a manual backup of an SQL 2005 database, via

Right Click on MyDatabase --Tasks --Backup
[Specify the filename path and type of backup]

However, when I try to specify the filename or, in fact, do anything, I
receive the following error

Property BackupDirectory is not available for Settings
'Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Settings'. This property may not
exist for this object, or may not be retrievable due to insufficient
access rights. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)

The user I'm logged into the database with, however, has full rights
within SQL.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!<smokejo@.googlemail.comwrote in message

Sounds like the user doesn't have full rights on the directory you're trying
to back up to.
