No, I'm not missing the point. I have, under my control, perpetual hard license files for 2019. The company has already confirmed that we can continue using these licenses, on one machine per license, until the end of time or Autodesk's demise. The license files are picked up and transferred manually to the new machine. You don't "restore from a backup" because that's not how it works.
Personally, I don't think they had the licenses that Rossman and the company think they had. I suspect they were some sort of grandfathered upgrade license that indeed, did expire because it technically didn't cover 2019 as an install, 2019 was just the end result of upgrading that license.
