    Personally I think TrueCrypt is dead easy to use

    home premium has encryption already, just password your account and it automatically makes your document folders private from the other users of your computer (assuming you use seperate accounts)

    The way I would suggest to use truecypt (depending on your needs)

    is to create a file just over 4GB in size and store all your documents in that 4GB file - then when you want to back up everything you can copy that single 4GB file to a DVD disc and you have 1 single file - fully encrypted. If you lose that DVD then it's no huge loss as long as you had a decent length password in the first place.
