      You can’t do that with the built-in backup program. Most 3rd party backup programs have this ability, though.

      Most commercial backup software offers encryption options. You can also go for hardware encryption systems like Paranoia (www.dataencryption.ca).

      Cheers.

      Immediately take the tape from the server (after the Backup is done) band it with a tape and put the Backup in your pocket. 100% security

      And now on the point – you’ll need to buy more suitable Backup software if you want to protect your backups with encryption and/or password – this cannot be done with the regular win2k backup
