How can I password protect folders

Tags: Microsoft, Windows SBS 2003, SBS2003
Can anyone suggest the best software to to use to enforce passwords/encrption onto a shared folder on our SBS server?
I want to put a password on certain folders on a shared area of the system that a user can control but the encrypted/passworded folder(s) still need to be backed up to tape when protected.
When a user tries to access the folder it should prompt them to enter the password.
The idea is to restrict access to authorised users and that includes the administrator!! her rules...not mine!
Anyway if anyone knows of a tool will do the job I would be very greatful.

I found a free util called 'folder access' that lets you password folders and let the user control this but you need the client installed on your pc to unlock it and I don't think it backs up correctly (using backup exec 11d)

Thanks
