What do you mean "it isn't working in the gui"? Do you get error messages?

The permission is set to everyone and full.
The security the same.
The error is in german.
Is it possible to make a backup to another server in a share with management Studio ?

ok let me check this...

the backup via script, is it a full backup of the DB ?
I have to make a full backup, which I can restore easily with the Management Studio GUI.

The SQL Agent user belongs to domain-admins group and should have enough rights in the domain.

Yes it is a ENterprise version in a cluster. :-)
Just for my understanding, can you explain the command in detail ?
BACKUP DATABASE @db TO DISK = @pathandfile
WITH NOFORMAT, INIT, NAME = @name, SKIP, NOREWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 5

ok now it works also from the GUI.
The problem wasn´t the share. It was the backup file name and then I pressed browse.
But the file was not created yet and there the error poped up, but when I just click ok, the backup starts.
Sorry for that.
