This error appears to be an issue related to the XP databases that are not installed during CMS install. Once I commented out the connection strings, the backup worked as expected. Would it be possible for SIM to either ignore those connection strings, or commented out those entries during install?

Backing up databases action failed with message: Cannot open backup device 'C:\inetpub\wwwroot\sxa.sc backups\2018-07-09 at 09-21-01\Databases\core.bak'. Operating system error 5(Access is denied.).

BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally.

You can find details in the log file. Would you like to open it?

@isaadansari that's permissions error, make sure that SQL Server has write access rights to C:\inetpub\wwwroot\sxa.sc backups\2018-07-09 at 09-21-01\Databases folder (try to create backup to that folder manually vis SSMS).

Closed since the backup functionality is deprecated (removed) for Sitecore 9+ instances.
