Software Development Network>> SQL Server>> creating backup of secure backup of database
how can create a secure backup of a database in Microsoft Sql Server 2000
i want to perform this task from Visual Basic.
actually i have been told by some body that you can create a encrypted database backup of database that when you want to restore or when you want to attach to sql will require a password.
any idea
Regardless of the interface used to request the backup, you end up with either a TAPE or disk file.
The only way to make this data secure is to physically protect the media on which the data is stored.
For disk backups, you can encypt the backup file. SQL Server does not provide its own encryption, but you can use NTFS EFS or other techniques.
