Re: How to secure backups?

Thanks Brian and Cris. Just to make sure my question is understood, let me rephrase. I understand the physical aspects of securing. More specifically, I'm looking for information as to how to secure the data on the drive through software (NT Backup, preferably) or whichever way would prevent someone else from easily accessing the data.

Thank you.

Using SBS 2003.
We are using Windows Backup to do nightly backups to an external drive. How can I either encrypt or basically make sure if found, someone else can't simply connect this drive and get all of the information from it?

Thanks.
