I think you can only restore it if you have taken a full system backup.

The messages in WhatsApp are not included in a full system backup. On phones with an SD card the data file is stored on the SD card. 930 does not have one but still shows the backup option in the app. But can't see anyway to get the file. I don't think it is possible. But just thought someone on here might be able to help

I thought that was the case. Bloody annoying that I have to keep loosing my message history when I do a reset after a new insider update.
