Hi there,

 

I've got a seagate backup plus HDD and when I create backup of my laptop on that, the contents of the backup can be accessed by anyone. Since, I also use the same HDD for sharing large files, I don't want people to see all that stuff, Is there a way to encrypt or hide that data so that it is not accessible by anyone...

 

Thnx

There's always a way...

Either create a partition only make it available to certain users or use one of dozens of encryption programs with a password.
