I did not want to "steal the thread", so I started this side subject.
They started mentioning back-ups, etc.
To me (from personal preference) that means either a
Norton "Ghost Image" or an "Acronis TrueImage" file(s)...

I don't even remember if Ghost supports passwords, but Acronis
allows password protecting their Image files. You even need
the password to verify the Image Integrity.

My real question is: How secure is that password?
Are there any utilities that will easily break those passwords?
Not dictionary attacks, etc... Something that goes in and "gets"
the password...

I would be interested it making secure back-ups for people
with the understanding that ONLY they could get into them,
and to be able to say that with a straight face, and for all of us
to be able to rely on that as being correct...

I am not interested in "finding" one of those utililities, just knowing
if they exist or not.

I do not think the actual software vendor is the "best" place to
ask this question, since they might say it is "perfectly secure" <grin>
