>>>Also, keep in mind that when you're performing a backup on the server, the server can only access itself and not the user's computer.

>The disks in your command ("c:\" etc) are disks on the machine where SQL server service is running, not on the machine where you sit. So the path of your backup needs to be on the server, and needs to exist on the server - or, if it's a network path, it has to be visible from the server. Because that is where the commands you send will be execute

Just found this way to make a network drive visible to SSMS (other than using an iSCSI drive): https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/3499/make-network-path-visible-for-sql-server-backup-and-restore-in-ssms/
