Can't backup Remote database

I am using the SQL express manager to try to backup a remote database
and it tells me the path for the backup is no good, but it will not
let me change it, any ideas.

try using SQL Server Management Studio Express you can download from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=6053c6f8-82c8-479c-b25b-9aca13141c9e,
instead of SQLExpress Manager..

I tried that with same results, If I remove the backup device and try
to add another one, I get the error Property Backupdirectory is not
available for settings "microsoft.sqlserver.management.smo.settings"

please verify the account running SQLExpress has enought permissions on the
backup device at the NTFS file system level as well..
