Encrypt backup to external USB drive in OS6.6.0

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.
