Is there a way to have a password on Time Machine backup without encrypting the whole drive?

I have a Transcend 1TB external hard drive that I use for Time Machine backups. Now obviously I don't want anyone to be able to use it to restore my whole computer on their machine, so I password-protected the drive and encrypted it for better security.

As it turns out, encrypting the whole drive takes a little more than forever.

I looked around and figured out that it takes a lot of time for the initial encryption. So I wasn't worried about it as long as the backups were quick later on....

Is there a way to have a password on Time Machine backup without encrypting the whole drive?
