I do not understand why you need that. There is a SQL command "BACKUP TODISK", and there you tell the server where to write it too. And when it comes to attaching a database, actually any location where the server has write access will do.

If any backup of any database already present in that server then you can get the file path by the following query:

select physical_device_name from msdb.dbo.backupmediafamily

among those paths you can get any one and execute following query to create backup of your database:

SQL

BACKUP DATABASE @DBName
TO DISK = @Path
   WITH FORMAT;
