If a db is encrypted with Firebird 3 encryption, is a backup made with
gbak also encrypted?

https://www.firebirdsql.org/file/community/conference-2016/encrypting-firebird-databases.pdf
implies you need to encrypt your backup afterwards so that means no.


Will a restored db from that backup be encrypted automatically or would
you have to run 'ALTER DATABASE ENCRYPT ...' on the new db afterwards if
you want it encrypted also?
