When auto backup is enabled, the Android Backup Service periodically backs up your
phone to a private folder in Google Drive. Auto backup occurs every 24 hours when the
phone is idle, charging, and connected to a Wi-Fi network.
Backup data will not count towards your Google Drive storage quota. Large files or files
that app developers have chosen to exclude from the service will not be backed up.
