The database is not encrypted while the system is running. Microsoft's claim that it's encrypted is due to the machine being encrypted at rest with Bitlocker.

The databases are plain-text sqlite files within the current user's %appdata% folder.

So, literally anything that can grab those files and put them somewhere else can qualify as exfiltration. Any backup product worth its salt would be covering these databases.
