[Plugin: Updraft] How to fix .htaccess warning?

I just set up Updraft for the first time and I am getting this message on the Admin screen in relation to the on-site Updraft backup folder:

Backup directory specified is accessible via the web. This is a potential security problem. Enable .htaccess support to allow Updraft to automatically deny web access.

Does this mean I should add something like this to the .htaccess file in the Updraft directory?

<Directory /path/to/diretcory>
order allow,deny
deny from all
<Directory>

Or is there something else that is being asked for?

It would be good if there were better instructions for this.
