   @Crazypedia
   The challenge with encryption: if your local database is lost/corrupted, you lose the encryption key too, making encrypted backup useless for recovery.

   The only viable E2E approach would be deriving the key from a user passphrase, but most users won't remember/backup it properly, defeating the recovery purpose.

   That's why plaintext relay backup might be more practical for actual data recovery, despite privacy trade-offs.

     @apps what security and encryption methods are being used or planned? An encryption key on the phone and one backed up on paper or a password vault for stored data maybe?
