would you recommend this over orangefox recovery? and, have you switched to this?

This TWRP is the most advanced, polished, constantly maintained recovery in TWRPs available for Poco X3 (that I tried), but it is still not as good as OFOX in terms of added extra features (like advanced file management, etc.)...
I'm using it now and will for some time as I want to do more tests on encrypted/decrypted storage.
Anyone who will choose to use this recovery will probably be only satisfied.

eager to read about your tests on encrypted storage, the reason being i've not been able to decrypt as yet. i'm on crDroid v7.2 of 21.Jan and i'd like to update to 27.Jan without losing data - and with decryption - but i haven't found a way - a simple way (if one exists, i.e.).

---

Seems it's a new update (TWRP-3.5.0_10-4), but I can't find it available for download (in the russian forum i can't download it).

So let me get this straight.
This twrp now actually supports making full nandroid backups and restores, just like on phones without dynamic partitions? Is there anything that has to be done differently, like making backups to and restoring from sd/external, or does it work on internal as well now? Is there still the "problem" of /vendor being unmountable? And what about wiping vs. formating when installing a new rom, any changes there?
Apologies for all the questions, but this twrp update really seems like a huge deal for new phones, that I wasn't expecting to happen that quickly.

- in terms of backup restore abilities this TWRP at least can do what latest OFOX can do, while the rest of TWRPs available for Poco X3 NFC are unsuitable/not recommended to do that...
- both recoveries (latest OFOX or this TWRP) using the "same engine" produce almost identical results, success or failures
- TWRP devs are still probably (hopefully) working on how to extract and backup only the system partition from dynamic super partition, because this you can't do now in any recovery (AFAIK) for Poco X3
- what you can do is to backup and restore the whole super partition, plus boot, dtbo, data partition... and depending on the encryption state of your internal storage... you can choose how to restore your backup:
if you're using decrypted storage
if you're using encrypted storage
- I had high hopes when I found out that this specific TWRP recovery actually can do backup restore, but after a few days of testing I found that results are (unfortunately) the same as using latest OFOX backup restore
- what I don't understand (can't figure it out) why while using decrypted storage you can't get always 100% identical restore while restoring super, boot, dtbo, data, metadata partition... sometimes it works, and the next day not - and what is sometimes failing to restore - is your PIN code Android protection (even if you provide the correct one, it will not accept it)

Hmm, ok. A bit disappointing, but still a nice step in the right direction. Thank you so much for your answer as well, I really appreciate it. As for the problems with restoring security challenge (pin etc.). I actually had that on older phones as well, when restoring different backups. Not always, but when it happened, I had to delete /data/system/locksettings.db from the recovery, after restoring and before booting.
