Without paying for remote backups, can I just manage my own backup on my own hard drive, and restore it when I want to?

Yep. Local backup generation has been around for at least a few years. You can have signal make a backup for you every day. You just need to get it off the device. This looks to be adding a remote option for this existing feature.
