You could put the data in a rar file. If you use a good password no one should be able to get in it. The only known methods that work (that I've seen) are brute force which only works on weak passwords.

Although I would just keep two backup copies in different places if it's that important to me(not online). If you don't want anyone getting into the data just encrypt it or put it in something like a password protected rar file. You could also store the backup drives in a lockbox so no one tries to plug it in and fucks it up.

It's funny though, I don't think anyone here said jack about S.M.A.R.T. features. If you use software such as http://www.hdtune.com you can see when there's a problem with your hdd. If people would just do that most data lost to bad drives wouldn't happen.
