From the #Signal Community thread announcing Cloud Backup public testing (emoji added for emphasis):
"The new backup system fulfills so many of the things people have wanted for so long:
🔒 Hosted by Signal, so your data is safe even if you made a local backup but dropped your phone in a lake.
📲 The ability to dynamically offload media so that Signal takes up less space on your phone, while still letting you download that media on the fly if you scroll back.

💾 An independent backup format that is readable by all clients, so that you can do things like backup on Android and restore on iOS.
🆓 A generous optional free tier that will ensure that all of the text content of your messages is backed up, as well as the most recent 45 days of media.
🌱 A fairly-priced paid tier that allows us to offer 100GB of media storage in a way that is sustainable for us as an organization."
