Mobile OSs RCS backup

[NUFC2025]

I have my pixel to backup to Google 1 every night but I had to do a factory reset but before I did it I made sure that it has backed everything up.
Once I done the reset I then let the phone do a restore.
Once every thing was back up and running then I noticed that no pictures that were sent to me were in any of the messages. All of the messages were there but no media and RCS chars were enabled from day one.

WhatsApp restored fine so if this is the case then I will have to use this in future.

Does anyone have an idea of what went wrong.

I think images are handled by google photos, bu tmay be wrong

The backup size before I restored was 900 mb but after that the restore size is only in kilobytes so something is wrong.
If this is the normal then I won't use the app and switch things to WhatsApp which I don't want to do.
