However, when the device began backing up, it backed up to the same corrupt file. The only solution was to set up the Android device as brand new. No matter how many times I attempted to restore the device from backups, it wound up in the same state. Because of this, when I reset the associated device, and the backup restored, the device wouldn't function. I have had, on a couple of occasions, an instance where a backup (for unknown reasons) has gone corrupt.
Why delete backups?Ĭlearly the backups aren't taking up that much space (unless you have a large number of devices) why would you bother deleting a backup? There is a very good reason for this. That's as far as you can get with this (you cannot delete individual apps from the backup), but it is nice that you can manage the backups as easily with your mobile device.
