Backing up data with the Backup & Restore application
Depending on the version of the Backup & Restore application that's installed on your device,
you may not be able to back up and restore data between different Android versions, for
example, when updating from Android version 4.3 to version 4.4. However, if you are running
version 2.0 (or later) of the Backup & Restore application, you can restore your data between
such updates. You can check the version of the Backup & Restore application under Settings
