Somehow, and I have no idea how, it may have been a pocket deletion, I deleted my convo history with my wife today. Over 5 years of history on that iMessage thread that I really do not want to lose.

I restored to an iCloud backup from earlier today before the thread was deleted, and this did not restore the conversation. Is there any way to restore it, or did Apple's sync mechanism destroy the ability to actually backup messages, and restores ignore messages since they sre stored separately (which is a completely ludicrous oversight)

/edit/ Sorry mods i thought my initial post did not work and now I just realized I posted this in two separate forum sections. I can't figure out how to delete either.
