From Firebird, no. The backup directory can be on a local partition or even on a mapped drive.

If you have eliminated the possibility that Windows permissions are causing this, then probably something is wrong with your filename string.

One reality check, though: did you know that the backup code (Services API and gbak) will throw this error if the file name already exists?

Another check: have you tried to make a backup with gbak.exe, using the same parameters?
