    Question on #Signal backups.

    If I have a conversation, with expiring messages set, and the other end of the conversation turns on Signal backup, what happens to the backups when the messages expire?

    Example to clarify my concern:

    Phone is stolen / taken, it takes a time t > t_expiry to break into it and access the Signal backup. Does the backup restore conversations with expired messages which should then be expired by the Signal client (and which, if you had any sense, you would prevent from doing if you wanted to access the backup)?
