SQL Backup Lite - Password protection

• 
  The answer is probably no, but could you pls explain further, as I fail to see the point of password protecting a file without encrypting its' contents. Thanks.

  Sure. What I'm looking for is a way to make a backup that can't be restored on another system without entering a password, but I don't need to go as far as actually encrypting the data. So, if someone with knowledge of SQL backups decides to access the file via an API and extract the data, that's not a problem. It's the casual copy/restore I'm trying to address.
  
  Thanks for your comments,
  
  Martin.

  No, that facility is not available in SQL Backup (whichever edition).
