Is there a way to restore SMS without wiping phone

If Google backups are in a md it backs up sms
Is there a way to restore SMS from Google backup without wiping and retiring phone and then it asks if you want to restore backup?

Also I noticed mms messages for mms pictures is an option if you choose a level deeper than just sms backups. But if you have never cleared your SMS conversations it can save a lot of data of old picture that can chew up Google drive space from many years of conversations

Anyone know how to purge messages older then say a year so backups and space on phone are not wasted

You can't restore from a Google backup via anything other than Google's official restore process.

But, you can use a 3rd party app to backup and restore texts - "SMS Backup & Restore" is great, You can even give it a date range to back up from
