It was not possible to perform encrypted backups since version 1.4.0b5. An error message "NotImplementedError("Use module Crypto.Cipher.PKCS1_OAEP instead“)" was displayed in the log when trying to create such a backup.

Workaround: Disable encrypted backups and perform unencrypted ones.

Encrypted backups created with previous versions need to be restored with 1.4.0b4 or older.
