Quote:Beginning with SQL Server 2012 the PASSWORD and MEDIAPASSWORD options are discontinued for creating backups.
Quote:The WITH PASSWORD feature didn't really encrypt your backup. It just made it difficult for someone to accidentally restore the backup when they were not allowed to and the password option was weak and could be broken easily. The only true way to protect the data is to use a 3rd party backup tool that creates an encrypted backup or to backup to an encrypted media. For sensitive data you should be backing up to encrypted tape anyway as tapes easily get lost and go missing. Otherwise you can encrypt the data at the source by encrypting the database.
