Could you support decrypting backups? Possibly in place as well as re-encrypting so we could edit files and send back.

When the program runs, it outputs the following error:

$ imobax -l ./backup
sqlite3_exec: unable to open database file

My 'hacky' Solution
First, I was thinking that it might be due to not properly configured permissions of the respective folder or files. I have tried to grant the folder and files write permission, but still it does not work.

Therefore, I tried opening the Manifest.db using the sqlite3 command which works without any permission errors. I ran the following command:

$ sqlite3 backup/Manifest.db 
sqlite> .tables
Files       Properties
sqlite> ^D
$

And this leaves the folder with two new temp files in the folder which sqlite3 did not remove upon closing – Manifest.db-shm Manifest.db-wal. After that, imobax -l ./backup works normally.

I have not tried to dive into the code yet. But I suspect that the problem might be in db.c when calling the sqlite3_open_v2 function, although the function sqlite3_open_v2 succeeds without any error.

Addition Information
The permission of the backup directory

The permission of the Manifest.db
