Unpack encrypted snapshot files

It can. You just have to restore what you decrypt.

But it seems impossible to select what should be restored, or am I missing that, too?

Let’s assume that something breaks, and the user wants to restore, but not simply overwrite an e.g. Lovelace card but just a part of it. Does HA Backup currently support this for encrypted backups?

No the selection is not that granular. Only core (all dashboards, all config) and add-ons can be selected separately for restoration:

And here it would be nice if decryption was possible from within the backup/restore function without actually overwriting everything, but instead saving the decrypted snapshot to a place from where the user could do more with it.
