Msg 3201, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot open backup device ‘C:\AdventureWorks.bak’. Operating system error 5(Access is denied.).

Fix/Resolution/Workaround:

I checked which user account my SQL Server services are running.

I gave full permission to that account to get read of the error.

NOTE: I have checked with my personal machine and not on production server. Please check with your network administrator for permission on production server.
