Almost always mobile operating system from Google offered users some form of backup data, however, all the solutions seem to be far from perfect, mainly due to the modest amount of secured information. With the launch of Android 6.0 has been made available Marshmallow new, almost close to the ideal backup mechanism.
About how he can be time-consuming restoration Android to the state before restoration factory settings or on a clean installation of the operating system seems to know everyone, and certainly people who use alternative to Google and hardware manufacturers software version. The mere thought of having to perform a clean install custom ROM is not one enthusiast little robot dreaming of a change to the device running the Windows Mobile and iOS 10 that belong to the operating system type of Fire up-and- Forget , but do not offer such huge configuration possibilities. And all thanks to the need to restore all the applications in use and their settings, which in some cases can take several hours of tediously clicking on the icons, breaking through the guides appear during the first run of programs and digging often very rich in features the Settings . The cure for this blemish is an application allowing the complex to create and restore backups as Titanium Backup or Helium backup, but even they are not perfect, because for the first requires access to root privileges (root), and the second is not able to secure all data. Also restore some of the information can be quite confusing when differences in the versions of Android are significant. And because a good portion of us must save a large portion of precious time just to install a newer, faster, more functional and safer version of Android.
Google for years trying to deliver to its mobile operating system some form of backup mechanism. Unfortunately, its functionality is limited to synchronizing data related to services wyszukiwarkowego giant – Gmail, Calendar, Google, Photos, Fit, Disk, Contacts or music or recorded information about wireless networks. Which of course is useful, however, it represents only a fraction of all the information stored on the device by users. With the launch of Android 5.0 Lollipop presents a new feature that allows you to automatically re-application already installed on user devices during the initial setting up your smartphone or tablet, which can save a lot of time, but can only play programs, and not stored in their information and data on personalized settings.
This very unfavorable for some users change the situation has Android 6.0 Marshmallow and implemented in the new mechanism backup. Members latest version of the mobile operating system from wyszukiwarkowego giant also using the service Google Drive may be noted that in setting the latter appeared a new feature – Manage backup . Are displayed in this place applications using a new API – Auto Backup for Apps – allows to receive the almost all data stored within the application (with the exception of temporary files and cache), and their settings. New mechanism to create and restore backups is run once a day at a time when the device is connected to the power supply and wireless network and is idle. All information before it is sent to the cloud is encrypted, so users do not have to worry about their privacy. The data are stored on a Google Account associated with Google Drive, the service allows you to store up to 25 MB of information for each application. This solution, combined with said auto-install the software through the Play Store, allows in theory to restore all your applications and their settings when you first start a new smartphone or tablet, restore your operating system to factory settings or clean install.
But the theory says. On the practical tests will still have time, but we must remember that synchronize with the cloud data refer only to operating under Android 6.0 Marshmallow applications that developers have added to them the appropriate functions for use with Auto Backup for Apps.
