Open new encrypted backup file?

I always created backups without encryption, and encrypted them myself for storage. The new UI seems to not allow unencrypted backups. I preferred unencrypted backups because I could open the files and do comparisons of my Node Red configuration when I made a mistake.

Does this new backup still need this special tool linked below, or can I now use 7Zip to decrypt it? I never used this tool before, I found it easier to save it unencrypted, and encrypt it with my own workflow.

The tool:
https://pypi.org/project/decrypt-ha-backup/

Thanks

I, too, would like to know how to decrypt backups. It would be better to not encrypt them at all, of course.
