-TODO: Will replace the contents of existing TestPurgeRestoreUserTimeseries.py file once the new functionality looks good.
-Keeping the earlier Test file as well for now so that I can reuse any assertion tests if needed.
-This Test file doesn't have any assertions right now, just using it to run an end-to-end flow of Export -> Purge -> Restore
