Google's "solution" can't do anything for bootlooping devices.

      Yeah big question here. Don’t android devices like, backup daily by default? Every time I set up my new device I seem to always have a yesterday’s restore point.

        Android’s stock backup misses a lot of things, apps can opt-out and many do, it also doesn’t backup files or documents or photos. Photos are “backed up” if you enable Google Photos cloud sync, but that’s separate. It basically just backs up your phone calls/SMS, system settings and what apps you have installed (but not their data unless they tie into the backup APIs).

        Android backup is a joke. It’s useless for all practical purposes. If you’re thinking something akin to iphone backup forget it, it’s not in the same solar system.
