    Not Everything that is faced can be changed,
    but nothing can be changed until it is faced.

  • I'm presuming you mean a SQL Login when you say "A SQL authenticated user..."  That being the case, it's immaterial, the OS is denying access to where you're trying to take the backup.  You need to give either the SQL Agent Service Account (if it's an Agent job,) or the SQL Server Service Account (if it's not an Agent job) access to the backup path.

    That's also why your Windows Auth users *don't* have a problem, they have access to the backup path.
