That partially answers one question I was curious about. What doesn't get restored if I simply use the built in backup option in the settings?


I think the answer is, the 3rd-party Apps themselves (.apk files) and any data files they create/maintain.

Not that I've had to restore anything from backup yet. I'm still trying to break it and haven't succeeded. smile
