| ### Backup Account Files | ||
|
|
||
| Backup account files are designed as a solution for users who have lost access to all of their XMTP apps. To create a Backup Account File, an app will generate a new set of XMTP keys and register the installation on the XMTP network. The installation contact published to the network will be set with a type of `backup`, which instructs all well-behaved clients to disregard any messages from this installation other than `MessageHistoryBackupResponse`s. This means that a compromised backup installation cannot be used to send messages on the user's behalf, which makes these files a less valuable target for attack. |

i didn't see any mention of a backup contact in the code. is this something we want to pursue? @neekolas

It's something we're shelving for now. Nothing is preventing us from adding the backup contact concept later. From the SDK perspective a "backup installation" is just another installation and the history request system would work the same. All the complexity lives at the app level.

| 5d. Delete the `MessageHistoryBackupResponse` and all associated credentials. | ||
|
|

| 5e. Set the status of the `MessageHistoryBackupRequest` to `Applied`. |

@neekolas we talked about a status field, but i'm not sure it's necessary. is this still something we want to consider?
