/**
 * 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.
 * <p>
 * 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.
 * <p>
 * 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.
 * <p>
 * Several attributes affecting the operation of the backup and restore mechanism
 * can be set on the <code>
 * <a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/application-element.html">&lt;application&gt;</a></code>
 * tag in your application's AndroidManifest.xml file.
 *
 * <div class="special reference">
