Android Database backups
<p>This is simply a question of best practices. </p>

<p>I would like to know which is a better way to manage db backups. The first option is to use the Android Backup Service. Now this initially seemed like a great idea, but apparently isn't supported by all phones/couriers? Also, the user would have had to enable backups in the phone's settings. </p>

<p>The other option is to simply copy the SQLite file to the SD card and vice versa. But this would mean anyone could pretty much open and use my database without my permission. It would also mean the user would lose all data if the SD card became corrupted or the phone was lost. </p>

<p>Any ideas and suggestions will be greatly appreciated. </p>
