Answer : Encrypt the database backup file

Hi Saratcm

Basically SQL Server 2008 does support Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) but you have to enable it at the Database level and not necessarily during the backup stage itself.

Please take a look at this link as it provides information about the same thing you would like to do, hopefully it will help.
