Encrypt backup to external USB drive in OS6.6.0
There are some older threads asking about encrypting an external USB backup, but no good solution and nothing current I can find. I backup to external USB drives x 2 formatted in EXT4, and rotate the backups offsite. I check the USB drive integrity using gparted in Ubuntu (having had a backup drive fail unexpectedly).
Recently, I realized that the backup should be encrypted. I am surprised that OS 6.6 appears not to offer this feature. Am I missing something? Is there a solution someone has figured out? I do not wish to spend on encrypted cloud storage.

Hello Labdoc1,
AFAIK ReadyNAS does not have this feature but to encrypt the NAS volume using a USB disk.
You might find this another discussion informative.
Also, I believe some USB disks have option of encrypting their volumes.
