Who are we?
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). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

You're downvoting and calling me wrong based on 30 seconds of research, so I'd say you are the instigator.
The backups in Google Drive are not accessible to you. The source you found doesn't contradict me, because it doesn't mention being able to access that backup, only delete or disable them.
You can only transfer your account, which doesn't test the backup. Getting to the stage where you'll be able to test the backup leaves you not logged in. The backup process needs a SIM.
