• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Users often invest significant time and effort creating data and
  setting preferences within applications. Preserving that data
  for users if they replace a broken device or upgrade to a new
  one is an important part of ensuring a great user experience.
  Devices running Android M help ensure a good experience for
  users in these circumstances by automatically backing up
  application data to Google Drive and automatically restoring it
  if a user changes or upgrades a device.  IBM MobileFirst
  Platform Foundation needs to support that.
