The ability to restore apps and settings is available on all current phones running Android 6.0 and above, and the process itself is identical regardless of the manufacturer. Don't let this scare you away from using the service, but you do need to be aware.
Google provides plenty of documentation on how to use the Backup service, so developers have the means to be cautious and do the right thing with sensitive data. Be cautious about using backup to store sensitive data, such as usernames and passwords. Google's thoughts on the issue:Ĭaution: Because the backup transport can differ from device to device, Android cannot guarantee the security of your data while using backup. That may not always be the case, as phone manufacturers have a lot of leeway when they make an Android-powered phone. Gathering data and sending it off to a remote server means it's outside the app sandbox and reliant on Google - as well as the people who made your phone - to do the right things. Also, developers can choose to select what app data gets stored in the cloud, and you can opt-out of the service at any time through your device settings. Data used by the backup system doesn't count toward your storage quota. Where does all the app data get stored? Google backs up the app data to Drive, allocating 25MB for each individual app.
That's it! Once the initial setup is completed, apps and settings will be restored in the background. Source: Android Central (Image credit: Source: Android Central)
