We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Question; how do you backup 3+ years of iMsg conversations? (alien.top)

I have Messages turned on in iCloud and so that is covered but what if a technical issue pops up and one of the suggestions was to clear out any old conversations to "see if that solves the problem".

I mean; these conversations with family and groups are memories and I would like to make multiple copies of it.

Asked if anyone here felt the same and found a solution.

IIRC there's some EU regulation that is going to mandate iMessage to be compatible with Android, which means Apple may soon make iMessage more open, and more options should appear in a few years.
