I'm trying to backup the whole volume of a drive. I want to have it password-protected

This is what I did

zip -er archive.zip /Volumes/Storage/

But I'm getting zip warning: name not matched

Thanks!

zip is a tool to package and compress (archive) files. My suggestion is to first create a tarball (with tar) with the whole volume of the drive and afterwards compress it.

See How would I use tar for full backup and restore with system on SSD and home on HDD?

Have you compressed data? What flags did you use in your tar command?
