You can also do it another way.
For instance, by default, it is located here:
That window Defaults to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\Backup
So, you can change it by going to your registry:
edit the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWAR
Notice I used e letter. You can change it to your preferred letter.

I don't think it's a good idea to make changes directly in registries.
Anyway that key it's only the default directory, doesn't mean that his backup is set for that folder. Also we don't know if there is any other process that are making backups, so it's very dangerous these kind of changes.

depends on his level of expertise.
That's one of the regularly used options, one I have used tons of times.

best answer thanks
You cannot select a new folder? It doesn't get saved? Or path is not accessible?
If you succeed don't forget to change also the cleanup task!
