SyncBackPro (commercial) • Make settings.ini-Files only readable by SB Pro

Hi,

I'um using SB Pro 7.6.8.0 but that's probably irrelevant for this question.

I'm making only backups of important files in the Cloud (Dropbox). As I want to use encryption, I put a 5 GB Container file into Dropbox, as DB supports differential uploads, which is nice in my case. As the upload only starts after dismounting the container, I'm always mounting/dismouting before/after the Profilerun. As I want to automate it (otherwise regular backups won't be done properly), I have to let SB mount the Container and therefore know the Container-PW.

I found out that the settings are stored within the settings.ini-file in AppData, something like this:

Code:

RunBefore="C:\Program Files\TrueCrypt\TrueCrypt.exe" "C:\Dropbox\TC_Container" /l K: /p MY_PW_HERE  /a /q
RunAfter="C:\Program Files\TrueCrypt\TrueCrypt.exe" /dK /history n /q /s


I know, saving PWs is generally not a good idea. But in this case I think it's alright, as this PW is not used anywhere else and should only avoid that someone eventually breaking in the Dropbox-Servers should not be able to decrypt files. IMHO, if one would get full access to my computer, I've got other problems anyhow...

But at least I want to make the file not readable for anyone...
I'm running SB Pro with highest elevated rights, so I thought maybe it is somehow possible to make this file readable only for elevated processes, or even only for SB Pro.

Do you have any idea?
Thanks in advance!
