You mean the cache of the (now) home-bad repo influencing operations on 
the (new) home repo? No. Repos are identified by a unique id. If you did 
"borg init" to create a new repo, it has a different id.

Encryption enabled using that key mode is the default for borg >= 1.0.

Somehow spaces look like garbage in your output.

That should not be. Can you reproduce this on different hardware?

You could e.g. try almost the same commands on your x86_64 machine, just 
using a local repo. If that works try again to the ARM machine, but use 
a different repo storage medium.
