We can do this by creating a certificate to encrypt the backup files. The certificate will stay under your control while the backup files can safely be stored offsite. Let's see how to do this by creating a new database and I'll call it Backup Example DB, but then we're actually just going to stay right inside of the master database. Then, inside of the master database, we'll create a master key. We'll use the encryption by password method and we'll supply the password of One Strong Password. Next, we'll create a certificate called Backup DB Cert. We'll add the subject line The Example DB…
