My snapshots are encrypted by the original computer (this is cool because the NAS can’t read them!). So I also needed to restore the encryption “wrapper key” to be able to use the backups.
Not gonna lie, it was pretty terrifying until I had my first confirmation I could decrypt the data.
Note: no bespoke backup method should be assumed functional unless you actually periodically check that you can restore data from it.
