You should be able to. But I wouldn't do it... When doing a WA restore all the photos come in as the restore date....and it drives me crazy.
Where does WA list the date for the restored photos?

In WA when you want to attach a pic that was taken a day before the restoration, you need to scroll down under all the pictures that WA restored...

Or in your regular Gallery App.

Although it says local backup, that's when it backs up to your Google Drive

Correct. My google backup is off.

I agree, just saying that's changeable.

You also don't necessarily need a daily cloud backup.

That hurts.

You can change the settings of the backup to "never". That should solve your problem.
