That's just wrong. You can export your chats in a secure format, signal android even let's you do it on a schedule. Combine with a hosted file server like nextcloud or google drive and you have automatic fully encrypted backups
What I'd like is an incremental backup feature in Signal android.
Currently you pay 2x the phone storage space to make a backup, and then with something like Syncthing you've got to do even more to not just be storing hundreds of gigs of mostly the same data.
Yeah same, I additionally do nightly rsync copies of my nextcloud to a second server in a data center and cleaning out all of the signal backups gets annoying after a while
