Why can't I restore a Google backup on my Android phone?
Google assumes that the backup is created for the same or newer Android version. You cannot restore data from a Google backup if you’re transferring from a phone that runs Android 13 to one with Android 11.
How long does it take to restore a Google backup?
That depends on how many apps and files you have. The phone will continue to restore your phone in the background while your apps and files are being downloaded.
Can I restore my Android phone to an earlier date?
You won’t be able to restore your phone to an earlier date beyond when the last backup was created. Google only stores your most recent backup. If you’re facing a bug where you’ve lost your contact list, go to contacts.google.com, click the gear icon at the top right corner, and click Undo changes. You can undo changes to your contact list going back 30 days.
I factory reset my phone like 2 weeks ago and I've been trying to get my backup back, I know where it is but I don't find any ways to restore it, how do I do it?
I found an app that totally saved my life on this matter!
The app is called Activity Launcher and from this you can open Android Setup app (the one with Restore icon) and click on the activity CloudRestoreFlowActivity. The restore screen will show up and you can select a backup file you previously uploaded to Drive.
FYI, I use Mi A2 Lite with Android 9.0 Pie.
