Are you running this backup task via Maintenance Plan or via your own custom TSQL?
If running via a Maintenance Task, simply open up the corresponding SQL Agent job that was created and output the results to a text file or something so you can view the error. Or, you can backup the database via TSQL and view the output generated during runtime.
