Time Machine from encrypted Mac to external drive doesn't allow restore

my macbook is encrypted, external drive is not. Time Machine saves seem to fail. Older saves, from time before Mac was encrypted, do work (permit restore). Must I encrypt external drive, to use with encrypted Mac?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.14
