Title: Easy way to password protect your wallet backups on a USB flash drive Post by: Bitcoin_Mafia_Me on June 13, 2014, 09:31:52 AM I learned my lesson about making sure to keep wallet backups on an external drive the hard way this week. To be
EXTRA careful, I decided to hide and password protect them as well. It's easy to do and just provides a little extra layer of protection. http://bitcoinmafia.com/bittys-blog/password-protecting-wallet-backups/ Hope you find it helpful!

One password on the file itself would be enough but i guess you could always rar them as well.

I thought about that but if you're dealing w/ several wallets and back them up regularly, zipping and unzipping a compressed file archive like that can become a pain in the butt. This way, once you enter the PW for the folder, you just cut and paste your backups, and you're done. |
