Using SQL Server Management Studio, I can connect to my DNN database on my webhoster's server. However, I don't know how to back the database up to my local PC. If I right-click the database name in Object Explorer and select Tasks -> Back Up..., I feel that I am close to the goal, but cannot define any destination for the backup process. If I select Back up to: Disk, then click the Add... button and try to enter a folder on my PC, I get this message:

Cannot verify the existence of the backup file location. Do you want to use the backup file location anyway?

If I click Yes, the folder is added to the list of destinations, but the when I click OK, I get an error:

Backup failed for Server 'sql2005-2.reinventinc.com'.  (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: Cannot open backup device 'D:\t'. Operating system error 5(Access is denied.). (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)

(D:\t is the folder where I want the backup to be created.)

Does anyone know how to perform the backup? Can it be that some important SQL Server service is not running on my local PC? Or is there a better way how to backup the database locally?

Backing up your SQL server DB over the internet cannot be done nor should it be done for security reasons. SQL server will only backup to a local store or a network share.

Some hosts will allow an FTP or FTPS account to access your [SQL] backup location on the SQL server, I would ask them about doing so.
