Aren't they encrypted with the phone's lockscreen password? You very much need that to restore cloud backups. Not that it has much value if you're a 4 digit PIN person...

Anyway, I can use a search engine:

Some data is further encrypted with your device’s screen lock. Photos and videos stored in Google Photos, and MMS media received from your carrier are not encrypted by your device’s screen lock.

Well, what is some data?

Anyway, I wish for something universal for offline backups. I mean, without root.
