File history is great but it saves your files on the external drive without any encryption and stores them using the exact same folder structure as the originals.

If a bad guy gets his hands on the hard drive it could basically not be easier to get to your important files.

Is there any way to encrypt the file history backup without breaking its functionality and without having to encrypt the original content itself?

Thanks for your input!
