hi stephan,

if you are using a single (range of) ips to access the backend yourself, 
you might try to use the .htaccess with a

order:deny,allow
deny:all
allow:IP(RANGE)

for the backend... not sure how it would have to look like exactly (you 
will need some more lines and make sure not to block access to the 
frontend), but this would seem to be the obvious to me.

be safe
