Linux-oriented, but if the EncFS port for windows works it should be useable too. Super ArchWiki EncFS page - very good info on using EncFS. encfs4win - "experimental project of porting encfs to the Windows world".How-To Geek on How to Encrypt Cloud Storage on Linux and Windows with EncFS.The local files can remain un-encrypted, while the online copy/folder would be encrypted.ĭeleting the local files is an option ( after verifying the online copies can be decrypted), but for a good backup strategy you should keep a local copy somewhere/somehow just in case the online copy has problems, or the passphrase is lost, etc. Or, you could use an encrypted filesystem like EncFS to encrypt a local folder into a shared OneDrive (or other service) folder. Or, you could use a tool like TrueCrypt (though it's no longer officially supported) or dm-crypt/LUKS to create a big encrypted container file, put your files inside it, and copy the whole container to wherever.


Then copy the encrypted files to wherever for backups. Sure, you could use PGP/ GPG to encrypt the files, either using your own personal public key (then you only remember your personal key's passphrase) or using -c conventional encryption only with a passphrase for the file you have to remember.
