Easy way to password protect your wallet backups on a USB flash drive

[Bitcoin_Mafia_Me]

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.

And don't forget you have got that precious backup in the hard drive, and then somehow dump it casually...

I think there's easier ways than that. 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.
