It does, but not like you'd think. If the backup is dormant, the right-to-be-forgotten portions can remain there. Once it comes out of cold storage, those RTBF requests have to be processed over the restored data. Although, in most cases, the dormant backups will expire and be deleted as per a data retention plan.
