[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1899993, member: 204485"] [USER=21567]@Patrick[/USER], I had not even thought of the possibility that the backup might be encrypted. Good call, let's hope it's not the case. I have a couple of things that are encrypted, my iMazing full backup of my iPhone and same for my iPad. I put them both into my password manager the moment I entered them. I wouldn't bother if I had a choice after all it's data on my personal device but it's a precondition of a "full" backup. As with macOS encryption this pointless use of home encryption causes more trouble than it's worth. Once again I quote Ars Technica, " The prevalence of data loss is much higher than data theft."
