Re: Encrypting MS SQL databases

["Saqib Ali" <docbook.xml () gmail com>]

easy.
just store the replicated data to a encrypted vault on the notebook.

encrypted vaults is a software based solution that appear as a
physical drive to the OS. Most of the business class laptops include a
free encrypted vault software. Dell includes WaveSys Security Center,
HP includes ProtectTools, and IBM includes Utimaco.

If you want to further secure the laptop so that data may not be
stolen from swap/temporary files, try one of the full disc encryption
products:
