If you want to use encryption, add the parameter "/PS" to the Personal Backup call.

In the folder C:\Empirum\Configurator\Packages\matrix42\Personal Backup\15.1\Install the file setup.inf with an editor and edit line 242 as follows:

`1`	`[Shell:Product]`

Start Personal Backup. In the Personal Backup console, "Password...." is available in the "Edit" menu. If a password is set here, the entire backup set is encrypted.
