You need to define 'backup' more specifically. For example, you can password
protect Norton Ghost image files and I would imagine there are many backup
apps that also allow you to password protect them. But it also depends who
you are trying to protect against, e.g. your 5-year old or the CIA?

If you mean using a back up utility, not just manually adding files to a
CD-RW, you could use Nero BackItUp, or another back up to CD utility that
offers that feature:

another way is to use winzip on the files and password
protect the archive then burn them to cd.you can make the
zip files self-extracting if you want to be able to use
them on a comp without installing winzip first.

I just want to copy my files manually to a cdrw and password protect them.
Is there a way to do this, or must I use some software program. If so, is
there a free version that you can recommend. Thanks.
