+<p>All backup and restore operations are controlled by the {@link
+android.app.backup.BackupManager}. Each application that would
+like to enable backup and preserve its data on remote strage must implement a
+backup agent. A backup agent can be built by extending either {@link android.app.backup.BackupAgent}
+or {@link android.app.backup.BackupAgentHelper}. The {@link
+android.app.backup.BackupAgentHelper} class provides a wrapper around {@link
+android.app.backup.BackupAgent} that simplifies the procedures to implement a backup agent by
+employing backup helpers such as {@link android.app.backup.SharedPreferencesBackupHelper} and
+{@link android.app.backup.FileBackupHelper}.</p>
<p>The backup APIs let applications:</p>
<ul>
- <li>Perform backup of arbitrary data</li>
- <li>Easily perform backup of Preferences and files</li>
- <li>Handle restore of data</li>
+ <li>Perform backup of arbitrary data to remote storage</li>
+ <li>Easily perform backup of {@link android.content.SharedPreferences} and files</li>
+ <li>Restore the data saved to remote storage</li>
</ul>
