Where is "My" backup.... in Google-land...??

[Guest Lister Of Smeg]

Hi All,

This is no doubt, a noob-ish question, for which I am sorry... but I have had a look, and cant see a definitive answer to this. However, I feel I know where my answer is gonna go.... No!! :( lol

We all know Google is our Friend and how it liked to help you, RETAIN all your info, such as Contacts, and all that, which is great... :D

I am ok with finding, and editing Contacts in Google Dashboard, on website/PC... (thanks to user who pointed me in that direction) however, where are the other things it retains???

Such as:

What Apps I have downloaded/installed?

What Wallpaper last used?

What WiFi Settings/Accounts?

What Bookmarks?

What Passwords?

Whilst this is all very well, there is some out of date stuff within that backup, and last night I restored a brand new rom, only to have it pull this info down, of which I didnt want some Apps or the horrid wallpaper, which I cant even find on the phone itself...??

Are you able to edit this info on a Google page, much like you can Contacts??

Many thanks, Lister

Good question - I have historic settings and previous App downloads stored in the ether somewhere that I would like to reset and startover. On a similar note, Web accessed Market stores several phones, which are generally several ROM builds, and selecting the correct "phone" is a lottery. That needs to be resettable too...

Its more than likely everything is stored in a single, compressed and encrypted file inaccessible by any user (For security reasons and to decrease upload / download times over a 2g network)

Wifi passwords. I wouldn't want anyone getting into my network :D

The market seems to automatically delete older entries after a while if your google account is link to another device. Old apps also get removed from sync list automatically (Although perhaps a little slow)
