Backup doesn't backup all messages
I did a migration to the official Sailfish X dual SIM image and used official backup before and restored the backup after flashing and the MMS messages wasn't transfered. I can't find any note about MMS being excluded from the messages backup, so this was a surprice for me. The note that "Gallery images and videos" are excluded doesn't implicate that MMS also are exluded imo. I would really like a heads up that "messages" doesn't include MMS messages and attachments.

If I remember correctly the mms picture content is saved separately from the message text.
The message text is in the commhistory DB and pictures under .local/share/commhistory/data/ folder.
You could check if the pictures are present there.

It doesn't matter that much, as I can request the pictures I'm missing from the senders. But it's an annoyance for me and a pity for Jolla. Regarding the issue, I don't care how the data is stored, as long as it's either included in the backup or clearly state that it's excluded.
