It is a bug in your recovery. I've backup all partitions (not internal Data like pics eg.) and restored them...two times...no complete boot! Done 1000% the same with OrangeFox TWRP and my phone boots correct. I tested with Xiaomi.eu 9.1.3 without active lookscreen security.

Link was dead temporary, was fixing minor bug catched after first upload...

No, that problem is not fixed, but I debugged it already. And for your info it is a bug in Android 9.0 platform I am building on, not a recovery bug.
Google has removed make_ext4fs utility which use to format ext4 file systems on pre-Pie platforms. make_ext4fs was suppose to be removed with Oreo but they left it due to bugs in mke2fs Pie is using now. Well as it turns out mke2fs still has bugs and that is what you are experiencing... And we don't have alternative(make_ext4fs) in Pie now.
OrangeFox is built with Oreo so using make_ext4fs to format system and vendor. Now I have to hack Pie/recovery to compile make_ext4fs from Oreo for ext4 partitions formatting. I don't like it at all but if that's the only way I have no choice. We'll see...
In a mean time you can backup system and vendor as Image which always works.

Updated... Now any backup type works for any partition of any ROM, stock/custom doesn't matter, dm-verity doesn't matter, Magisk doesn't matter.

Tested...works now perfect. Thx a lot!

Are you able to add the password feature to lock twrp itself?

As soon as you compile it I would imagine....???

Is there a bug regarding encrypting backups?

I set a password 'test1' and ran a backup for the recovery partition. Then another backup with password 'test2'.

After that I restored the first backup, but TWRP did not ask for any password? So it looks like the backup was not encrypted?

Version 1-9

Did you upload a newer version of the 3.2.3-4 Version? Do i have to reflash the 3.2.3-4?

Look at filename...date...yes, there are a few version with same build name, but newer date in name...I am not happy with this signing, but who cares

If I was bumping up device version with every release the twrp top bar would've ran out of space...

Yep... It's called "any TWRP + Magisk".

Sorry to ask about that. Whether you have made the firmware on the basis of lineage? For Mi max 3.

Hi, nijel8!
Sometimes I do a full cleanup and do a smartphone reboot, twrp asks to do its settings. Sometimes the settings are saved. Why it depends? Does it matter?

I installed the latest beta version of MIUI Global, 9.1.24 by fastboot, launched and configured. I installed TWRP by ADB. Now TWRP can not see the internal memory, 0 MB. Why. Did MIUI improve the encryption?
Magisk installed.

Similarly, I installed previous versions of MIUI, I did not do the partition format data and installed TWRP which saw internal memory.

If you wiped /data and wiped/flashed /persist yes, it's normal.

Yes, MIUI Pie and Oreo handle data encryption differently so you might have problems decrypting data from Pie to Oreo and vice versa. But that should not affect TWRP decryption performance - it handles both no problem.
Most likely you have experienced one of these rear occasions when things go foobar...
