You wont require SQL license to backup Sharepoint you will require only sharepoint license...........If you are backing up SQL instances seperately (not under sharepoint) then you will require SQL license.....

sharepoint database is on the sql, so if you want to backup the sharepoint database then you have to backup your sql as well to protech the server completely. Make sure you have the license for sharepoint and sql and run the backup again.

Thanks for the reply Dev T.

so in this case it's the broken installation or wrong selection that I made? eg. changing the default settings from the SQL Server option ?

Create a new selection list selecting SharePoint Farm/ instance and run backups...

When you will select the sharepoin farm the  SQL instance will automatically get selected. Please read this article and it should answer it
