The clue is in the message:

Cannot open backup device 'E:\rh_bookmany.bak'. Operating system error 5(Access is denied.)

Try putting the file somewhere that the program does have write access to...
If necessary (and it's not a bad idea) create a folder especially for the backups, and set the permissions.

dear wahab,

it is not possible to get the back up of the live server. in your query you trying to get local path but we can't access the live server as local machine...

if you need the back up you have to contact the live server admin
.

Hope this will help you
