No, the authentication/authorisation is only to protect if the repository is accessed over a protocol (http, command line etc.), if someone has direct access to the file, they have access to _all_ of the repository data. To protect any file on a USB drive against theft or loss, you'll need to either _encrypt_ the USB drive or a subset of its file-system that contains the .fossil file. If you are on Linux you can look into dm-crypt for full-disk encryption: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dm-crypt Or eCryptfs for file-system level encryption: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECryptfs
