> They have an option in software to enable encryption. You provide a key and supposedly the encryption happens at the client in your end.

For restore, though, decryption happens at the server end. You have to supply your key to their server, which decrypts the data at their end, then sends you the subset you are interested in restoring.

Is here a reason they don't just supply you with 5he encrypted data and give access to a tool to decrypt it?

This is the only thing putting me off backblaze

That is strange. The encryption, in that case, only really offers protection against data breaches
