Google deletes drive backups after two months without use

As many of you know, your Android device automatically backs up to your Google Drive account. Although, something that many do not know is that these copies are deleted every two months. Although, backups are still a somewhat complex topic on Android.

Google deletes Drive backups after two months without use

Currently , backups are still not complete and for all applications. And something few or no one knew is that the copies have an expiration date. Thanks to a user, who after having his mobile under repair for two months, found that there was nothing in his Google Drive account.

Backups to Google Drive

Of course, those backups will be for two months, if they are not used. Something that in general should not pose a problem, but that in certain cases, such as the user who has had the mobile under repair, can be problematic. And this has nothing to do with space issues on Google Drive. Simply that Google is committed to a cleaning system.

Users can check the status of their backups. Just go to the Google Drive account and look for a folder named backups. There they will all appear in a list with the name of the device to which they belong. So it is possible that you come across a copy of a previous mobile.

Although it is logical that a backup is deleted after a while. It seems like two months is a fairly short period of time. Especially in the event of an incident with the device. So users will have to be more active and be aware of their backups at all times.
