/**
* The interface through which an application interacts with the Android backup service to
* request backup and restore operations.
* Applications instantiate it using the constructor and issue calls through that instance.
*
* 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.
*
*
* Developer Guides
* For more information about using BackupManager, read the
* Data Backup developer guide.
