Hey guys,

normally I don't encrypt my backups, as I like them to be accessible for manual inspection.
However, I do know that if I don't encrypt my backup, it will not store passwords of some kinds and maybe other stuff? I don't know.

Regardless, if iCloud Keychain is activated, will this make the encrypted backup redundant so that an unencrypted backup + iCloud Keychain will do the exact same job as an encrypted backup or are there any differences?

Thanks for the help in advance,
