In bug 1897278, I made it so that encryption state is persisted to disk if encryption is enabled. That state is written to the backups profile folder, and I had to patch the code that clears out old staging folders to avoid deleting this state file.

That seems like a little bit of a footgun. I think it might be safer if we move all of the volatile work for staging and storing backup snapshots under backups/snapshots, and let anything that needs to be permanent live under backups.
