I had this issue when I try to backup a database.
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError:
Cannot open backup device 'C:\x\x\xxx.bak'.
Operating system error 5 (Access is denied.). (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
When I had this issue I thought that the user which I'm connecting to database don't have rights to access to the backup location. I gave full control to that user but nothing changed. This is because the service for SQL Server is running with another user.

At this point you may choose changing user of the service to local system account or add access rights for the current user of the service.
I choose the 2nd one.

After that change backup succeeded.
