option, a wide variety of settings and data are backed up, including your
Wi-Fi passwords, bookmarks, a list of the applications you’ve installed, the
words you’ve added to the dictionary used by the onscreen keyboard, and
most of the settings that you configure with the Settings application. If you
unmark this option, you stop backing up your settings, and any existing
backups are deleted from Google Servers.
