Truecrypt is your friend. Safe enough I'd leave the file lying around on the web with my 36 character password.

infested999,

I use TrueCrypt, however not for my wallet.dat.
This is not because there is anything wrong with TrueCrypt. It is because of wasted space*.

The minimum size you can make a TrueCrypt container is 292 kB which is more then enough for a wallet.
For a comparison. The average size of a MP3 is 3.5 MB**.

3.5 MB = 3, 500 Kb (OK... 3,584 Kb, however I think you get the point).

* This is not a consideration for most (if not all) because of the sizes of hard drives.

** See http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_average_size_of_an_mp3_file

You don't use Truecrypt for your wallet.dat because your trying to save 92kB of Hard Drive space?
