Hey everyone!

I have been looking into bug 1190375 [1] - "Create whitelist (or blacklist)
for Android Auto Backup" and need some input from you!

Background:
* Android 6.0 automatically creates backups of application data and
accounts (for apps with targetSdkVersion >= 23)
* When the app is (re-) installed Google will download and restore
application data from the backup
* The backup is independent from the device. Switching to a new device will
restore the backup from a previous device.
* Each app can store up to 25 MB

https://developer.android.com/training/backup/autosyncapi.html

We want to create a whitelist of things that Google can safely backup and
restore across devices. But what should we add? My first intention was to
add our preferences to that whitelist. But some of them are actually
Gecko-related things and not just simple shared preferences.

So what should we add? Files, databases and shared preferences are good
candidates.

Sebastian
