Google will delete all backup data if you don't use your device

We might think that if we have data's in a Android phone it will be safely stored & no problem

 if we don't loose our mobile or tablets powered by Android. But interestingly if we don't use 

our Android device for 2 months then all our Back Up data's will lost. If you have a habit of 

switching your daily driver from Android frequently, we have news for 

you. As it turns out, Google deletes the Android backup data for users if they don't use an

 Android device for duration of just two months and doesn't even provide any proactive 

notification to the users regarding the same.

As per a Reddit user named Tanglebrook, the search giant removed the user's Android 

backup data after the device was not used for two months and the company reportedly didn't 

proactively inform the user before doing the same. On contacting the Drive Support, 

Tanglebrook discovered that there is no option for recovery despite the fact that user was

 paying for the company's service.

"There was no warning from Google. They just deleted my data. There's apparently an

 expiration date that shows up under the backup if I had checked the Backup folder sooner, 

but there was no notification, no email, no proactive notice at all, and most importantly, no

 option to use the 100gb of my Drive storage to keep my f* backup," Tanglebrook said in his

 post on Reddit.

While the backup functionality has been available for Android users for quite some time, with

 Android 6.0 Marshmallow the search giant improved the service and users can even have

 their backups stored in Google Drive folders. However, as can be seen from the above

 incident, users will lose the data if they don't use an Android device for little over two months.

Notably, the company starts showing the warning about the expiration date of the account

 backup if users don't use their device for two weeks itself, as can be seen from the company's

 support page. Next time you are temporarily switching devices and platforms, do remember

 to use the account with an Android device again before its expiration data to avoid losing 

apps and backup data. So it is better that we keep using our device to have our data safe.
