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.
