Write failure is usually caused by insufficient disk space or NTFS
permissions-related.

Thanks Ricky for the reply.
I agree with u that this error is generally due to
insufficient space but Lutheran database(which I am trying
to back up) is 5 Gbytes and H:\ drive which is on network
and has more than 19 Gbytes of free space. In addition to
that it successfully backed other databses like Master,
Model and MSDB. I am not trying to back up Transaction
logs but only the full database.

Thanks
Bharat
