Folder Security and backups question

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

I want to use a software program to password protect a folder in XP Pro. I
would also like to the backup program to be able to backup this folder as
well. In other words, I don't think I want to hide this folder or it's
files from the backup, but I DO want to prevent random persons from seeing
or opening the files in this protected folder.
Can anyone steer me towards a program that does this? Freeware or
Small-CostWare would be appreciated.

Thanks
Brian
