Hmmm, I think I'll have to do that. Then I can have all the important stuff I want on my external and have that encrypted. Then I'd have copies on thumb drives. I shouldn't need it all that often, but I suppose if I'm really worried, I can use the thumb drive in the field on a device that is not connected to the internet.

As far as decrypting, is that as simple as just entering a password?

What are your thoughts on cloud storage?
