Hi, can you explain what you mean by "a password that encrypts the backup". Thanks

Hey, sure!

What I think would be cool is that during the backup process, if a password is supplied it will encrypt the file and use the supplied password as the password needed to decrypt it.

Not too sure when I'll get around to adding it, but it doesn't seem difficult to do. :)
