I had started a thread over in the nexus 6 forum but was thinking maybe this would be a better place.
There seems to be very limited information out about how this is being handled.
This site has a pretty good write up on it http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/10/android-6-0-marshmallow-thoroughly-reviewed/6/
However my issue lies in the fact that a tiny fraction of my apps are actually getting into the Google Drive/Settings/Managed backups.
Everywhere it seems to refer to next to all apps will get backed up properly this way. But this is not my experience.

This is a major pain point in android and one of the reasons to root. I really hope this gets ironed out.
What are others experience with marshmellow app data backup and restore?

OK so i think the issue are the apps that aren't using the latest API
Everyone made it appear that this was going to be the solution and while it might be in the next year or two its not right now...
Excuse me while i go root my devices....
Grumble. Grumble
