Feedback:

Add:
1) note about the possibility of restoring from a pre-2.5 encrypted backup but not vice versa;
2) command line to decrypt the backup manually:

pre-2.5: `grep -v "config.xml" config-encrypted.xml | base64 -d | openssl enc -d -aes-256-cbc -out dencryptedfile.xml -pass pass:<PASSWORD> -salt -md md5`

2.5: `grep -v "config.xml" config-encrypted.xml | base64 -d | openssl enc -d -aes-256-cbc -out dencryptedfile.xml -pass pass:<PASSWORD> -salt -md sha256 -pbkdf2`
