Nice. I hope it makes Signal suitable for public official required to archive communications.

Currently signal users probably have no backup, or use a Signal fork that support archiving in a less secure way.

If I understand this right, it's not really it. If you delete messages in the chat, they will also disappear from the backup as it gets uploaded again.

This doesn't seem to be an archiving solution.
