Android questions (phone)
Is this the correct forum?
I need to understand some things about backup, restore and sync.
Recently had to do a factory reset. Debating whether to just go with a clean slate, or to invoke the backup. Every other time I've restored, it seems only some things restore, but some things I really wanted were lost.
So now I want to thoroughly understand it all. Anyone here fancy themselves an expert willing to help?
My questions will likely be very specific. I need more than just generalized info. No computer available, only two Android phones.
TIA

Historically, with computer, I was extra cautious about everything. Then I had to suddenly migrate to phone only, and I gave up and just let factory settings go. It's just a whole rabbit hole thing you know?
