Remarks

&lt;application&gt; level android.content.pm.PackageManager.Property tag specifying whether the app should be put into the "restricted" backup mode when it's started for backup and restore operations.

See for information about restricted mode.

Starting with Android 16 apps may not be started in restricted mode based on this property.

<b>Syntax:</b>

&lt;application&gt;
              &lt;property
                android:name="android.app.backup.PROPERTY_USE_RESTRICTED_BACKUP_MODE"
                android:value="true|false"/&gt;
            &lt;/application&gt;

If this property is set, the operating system will respect it for now (see Note below). If it's not set, the behavior depends on the SDK level that the app is targeting. For apps targeting SDK level android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#VANILLA_ICE_CREAM or lower, the property defaults to true. For apps targeting SDK level android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#BAKLAVA or higher, the operating system will make a decision dynamically.

Note: It's not recommended to set this property to true unless absolutely necessary. In a future Android version, this property may be deprecated in favor of removing restricted mode completely.
