Phidiax Blog BizTalk Server 2016: SQL Server Database, Failed to Backup The Master Key Encryption to Shared Folder

I recently came across a write permission error when backing up the database master key encryption to a file. I was running SSMS as the Administrator and executed below SQL statement: BACKUP master key to file = N'\\SharedFolder\Keys\database_DEV_master.key' ENCRYPTION by PASSWORD = N'SupperStrongPassword$$$'However the below error occurred: [Cannot write into file '\\SharedFolder\Keys\database_DEV_master.key'. Verify that you have write permissions, that the file path is valid, and that the file does not already exist.]The error looked obvious but it took me a while to recognize that SSMS was using SQL service account to execute SQL statement. To fix the problem, I gave SQL service account "write" permission to the network shared folder and re-ran the SQL statement.
