If she were running Linux, you could use EcryptFS and just backup the
encrypted files. With Ubuntu, that's dead easy. I don't think any filesystem-
aware encryption system exists for Windows. Only partition-aware schemes like
TrueCrypt, and individual file encryption like GPG/PGP file encrypti
You'll have to find a solution that leaves something final on the client,
like a key, a secret.
The client will eventually change and forget it.
If you tie that to your backup solution, you'll end up as... the guy that
can't even provide a backup solution.
If encryption it is, either the encryptio

True - which
You could show her something like TrueCrypt; if she put all the files
she was worried about in a TrueCrypt volume(s), it would just be a

I have an interesting situation here. One of my users refuses to
participate in the system of backups because she's concerned about the
security of her files. She agreed to participate if I can make the system
work such that even I am unable to see the contents of her files. She's
