Major troubles with Windows Backup?

Question

I am trying to back up some files that I have place on my harddrive. I have tried placing them at two different locations to see if it's the location from where I am saving them from that was causing me the trouble, but no chance. I am trying to backup from Windows Backup to do this and I can't use anything else, because that's what my Assignment strictly sais. I got told to use a CD-RW instead as the backup has trouble with a CD-R, still no luck. I then googled it a bit and found that I should format the CD-RW first before the backup. It IS a blank disk afterall...so haven't tried that yet (I know that to format media is to prepare the media for use with a particular file system, and the format of the disk is different to the operating systems file format). The error I get is; "The backup file name could not be used. "I:\ICAS2017A.bkf", Please ensure it is a valid path, and that you have sufficient access". I AM an administrator, not networked..NO IDEA! Please help anybody??

P.S. This is for an assignment where I MUST use Windows Backup. (I am going insane with this...grrrrrr!)
