Password Protection

Use Fbackup 7.1 Build 313 I have enabled encryption and set a password for the data files, however I am able to open the zip file that was created by the backup using WinRAR without being prompted for any password. I can view the folder structure and the see the file names, I am finally prompted if I attempt to extract the file, but I believe that having the folder structure and files names is already a breach of the security I am expecting from a encrypted / password protected zip file. I believe an attempt to open the file should immediately prompt for a password before enabling any program to browse the contents of the zip file.

Hi,

We create standard zip files. In each zip you can see the folder structure and file names. Only the content is encrypted.
If you want to also protect the file/folder names, please use our commercial edition: Backup4all.
It has an "obfuscate" option you can check and the file/folder names will be obfuscated until you enter the password during the restore.
