backup for imessage with multiple mobile numbers

Hi,


Since imessage allows you to have multiple mobile numbers linked to an account/1 apple ID, i wonder how the backups would be like? say if i have 2 iphones and they're both signed up using the same apple ID but they have imessage that send/receive messages from 2 different numbers. Will imessage be able to backup chats of the two different numbers or will it get overwritten? Is it safe?

You are safe. The Messages app on both iPhones will be backed up and synced without overwriting one with the other.
