I should have looked closer at the screenshot, didn't really think it would tell me anything beneficial for an e2e system.

Thanks for pointing that out!

Honestly might not be a bad idea to have a backup somewhere else just in case. Like in the event of a fire or something have a backup sitting in a safe.

It does bring up an interesting conversation, what levels do we go to make sure we can recover accounts in situations like this? Store a USB or a paper in a safety deposit box on the other side of the country? I tend to store all of my backups for my other accounts on my iCloud Drive so... loosing access to that would be catastrophic.



Essentially at that point you're on your own - you can't have Apple able to do recovery and be unable to access your data for other purposes.
