[Q] [Help] How to restore Nandroid backup on encrypted phone?

I have Online Nandroid Backup and TWRP 2.8.0.0 installed on my OnePlus One (CM 11S 25R). The phone is encrypted, and I have made daily nandroid backups. Now I need to do a full restore from one of those backups, but when I boot into recovery, TWRP doesn't find the backups and doesn't recognize internal storage (it says 0 MB). So it seems TWRP can't recognize my encrypted partitions. How can I restore my full nandroid backup?
Do I need to do it from a computer somehow? Do I need to wipe something first?
I am a newbie.
Thanks

Proper way to backup system, apps and settings

Since I just got stuck with a broken nightly on cyanogenmod I wanted to ask for a solid way to backup the system, apps and all settings of my device (which is a HTC one S ville).
I thought about backing up my cyanogenmod system with TWRP?
Is TWRP able to backup all the apps and app settings? Does it also include for exmple Tasker profiles?
What is a backup app like titanium for? Do I even need it if I back up frequently with TWRP?
Thanks in advance

The twrp backup is an exact image of all your partitions: cache, boot, system and data including the file system. It'll contain everything you have on your phone except sdcard. It's downside is that you cannot restore only a specific app or it's data, you have to restore all of them.
Titanium Backup on the other side, backups the apps and data and allows separate restore for each app.
If you do frequent twrp backups and you would restore everything at once, you don't need TB

Backup and Restore

What do you guys typically do when you try out new ROMs and want to do a clean flash and get back up and running quickly?
1. Restore via Google
(Very slow to redownload everything, doesnt restore everything)
2. Sony Backup/Restore
(Sometimes Restore doesnt work)
3. Titanium Backup
(This is what I currently do, but can also be extremely slow)
4. Titanum Backup (creating update.zip for use in TWRP)
(Backup only seems to allow backup to internal storage so I run out of space)
5. Something Else

I use twrp recovery menu to backup my data, system and kernel
I usually backup to my internal storage since its faster than my mSD
From there i wipe and flash
Or to restore wipe and restore (since cache/art cache wasnt included in the backup)

If you wipe/restore from TWRP, then haven't you've just wiped your brand new ROM and returned back where you started?
My question is specifically for people who try custom ROMs do a backup and restore.

I think i made a bit of a typo there
when going to flash
- backup
- wipe
- flash rom
- flash gapps if needed
when going to restore
- wipe (cache, art cache)
- restore

I'm sorry, I still don't understand.
1. You backup (system, data, etc)
2. wipe
3. Flash rom (which writes new rom to system and data)
4. Then you restore your backup, which now overwrites system and data, thus erasing the new rom you just flashed
I need a way to restore apps and app data while keeping the new rom, otherwise it defeats the purpose

Restore specific app backup with TWRP

I have TWRP 3.2.3.0 running with Xiaomi Mi5. I had created a data backup with a rom I do not anymore use, but it contains an app’s data I want to recover.
Is there a way to parse the twrp backup files with a tool (PC perhaps) to extract the specific folder from the data and restore it?
Or, is there a tool that can read the twrp backup and partially restore the selected app data?
Thanks
