Experts,
What are the best options to secure backups without using third part tools ?
I am able to think of the below options.
Keep in disks/tapes at remote locations.
Secure with password (I don't see this option in SSMS though
).
Anything else ?
Thanks in advance.

Zip it with a password.

Upgrade to SQL 2008 and use TDE on the database (Enterprise edition only). Otherwise 3rd party tool of some form (backup tool, password protected archiver, etc)
The password on SQL backups is not secure, books online does make that point.

No. The only reason why I suggested what I did was because it's free, relatively easy, and offers good security. When you said that you wanted to avoid 3rd party tools, I suspected that the word "free" was an important factor.
Like Gail said, you could use TDE but study the ramifications of that carefully before you do it.
As she also said, securing it through an SQL Password isn't the right thing to do.
