Automatic backup, process successful

[InfX]

Got this notification after a reboot today. I don't remember installing anything that should do any kind of automatic backups once in a blue moon on reboots. Any idea what does this?

If you're running Jelly Bean, try tapping-and-holding the notification, clicking App Info and see if you get a system app or an app that you installed back as a result. Might not be of much use, but you may be able to narrow down your search.

I am neither running jb, nor able to reproduce this

have you got Google backup enabled?

Yes, but i've got it enabled since... forever, and never seen this message, not even once.

BTW: I've always been wondering if it's actually possibly to manually review and/or fetch what's on that Google backup.

I have no idea, then, sorry, as I've never seen that message before.

Head for the Google Dashboard - https://www.google.com/dashboard/, Ctrl+F "Android" and click "More data stored about this device".

Hm, thanks

Honestly, there is barely anything in there. I though it was supposed to (almost) store the entire /data/data in there.

I got it too, but on GN.

I just got the same notification! Never seen it before.

Verizon Galaxy Nexus, 4.1.1. When I long press the notification, app info brings up locus, a geocaching app, which has no notifications,and doesn't do backups. I've had locus (which I used once a long time ago) on the phone for well over a year.

Also odd, I had to reboot to make the notification go away.

Hmm, i have locus. And it had an update recently. Ill ask the dev on his forum, locus dev is very cooperative, thanks

Update: it is Locus, indeed, it now got automatic scheduled backup module, can be disabled from Locus via menu - functions - backup manager. I would never guess by the notification text, thanks.

EDIT: This is the Locus thread mentioning the functionality.

PS: Topic closed, i guess. Thanks everyone for help.
