The best way I can think of is to Compress it as a multi-rar/zip file (the theory is, the bigger the file, the more liklely it would be to pick up errors. So instead of having 1 4 gig file, it is better to have 4 1 gig files. You can password protect them. You would need to create the file on your HD first though, meaning you need at least as much free space as what you want to back up. Of course, you can do it bit by bit.

another, more complex (and expensive) way is to obtain Steganos Security Suite. This has utilities that let you encrypt your files, and it stores them as a password-protected .cab or .exe file (up to 128bit cipher, uncrackable apparently too). Has it's uses, depends just how much security you want i suppose
