"Access denied" is pretty well self explanatory.

It means that the user running the backup process has no access rights to that folder...
Check the backup job an see the user mapping for the owner of the job...

No, I am logged in as kgmmurugesh and this user has full permission for the folder.

It has nothing! to do with the logged in user... There is the owner of the job, who sets up the security context. You have to see to what actual user it is mapped...
