    Error code 880 indicates that the user does not have rights to back up the database. Does the owner of the job have the necessary rights?

    Try backing up that database using SQL Backup:

    - start SQL Server Management Studio
    - log on to SQL Server using the same user account as the owner of the backup job that failed
    - back up that database using SQL Backup e.g.
    EXEC master..sqlbackup '-sql "BACKUP DATABASE [...] TO DISK = [...]"'
