Introduction

This sample demonstrates how to selectively disable Automatic Backups in Android M, either by adjusting the location where data files are stored using getNoBackupFilesDir(), or by using a custom XML configuration file.

This sample can also be used as a utility to test the behavior of the Automatic Backup feature. Executing:

adb shell bmgr restorecom.example.android.autobackup

from a terminal will cause the sample's data to be cleared and replaced with a copy from the backup server.
