2. Encrypted iTunes backup

Hi, I recently enabled encryption backup for my phone, and now I forget pass encryption. How do I remove it?

If I restore the device and use iCloud backup, will I remove that, or should I set up a new device?

Wondering 

3. No password when restoring encrypted backups in build 8029?

I encrypt my backups, and in older versions of TI, one has always been promoted to type within the password if one changes any setting within the backup. An equivalent goes for restoring files; I’m always prompted to type the password. This is often what I expect; encrypted backups should require a password to vary settings, add files, remove files from the backup and, in fact, require a password when restoring the backup.

With the new build 8029, the encryption function seems to be broken. I can freely change encrypted backups and restore encrypted backups without having to use any password. I see an equivalent thing in backup jobs created within the previous build and backup jobs created during this new build.

Does anyone else see an equivalent thing?
