* When an application has made changes to data which should be backed up, a * call to {@link #dataChanged()} will notify the backup service. The system * will then schedule a backup operation to occur in the near future. Repeated * calls to {@link #dataChanged()} have no further effect until the backup * operation actually occurs. *

* A backup or restore operation for your application begins when the system launches the * {@link android.app.backup.BackupAgent} subclass you've declared in your manifest. See the * documentation for {@link android.app.backup.BackupAgent} for a detailed description * of how the operation then proceeds. *

* Several attributes affecting the operation of the backup and restore mechanism * can be set on the * <application> * tag in your application's AndroidManifest.xml file. * *
