Are backup archive names encrypted? Cannot find answer in docs. #8219

I have looked over the docs, but I cannot find a list of the specific unencrypted versus encrypted data. Are archive names encrypted data or plaintext? I assume filenames and metadata is encrypted, but not sure about backup archive names since that might be considered less sensitive.

borg stores all data and metadata in the same way, so yes, archive names are encrypted.
