Google working on a Full App Data Backup for Play Store

The rumor mill has it that Google could be working on a pretty useful and much-anticipated functionality, which would restore both the Apps and all its data to a new device. It is speculated that the feature will be implemented into the Play Store itself. Users would be able to choose among a list of backups from all devices (both smartphones and tablets) that are associated with their account. Once you restore a given backup, all of the apps will make their way to your new or freshly-wiped Android device in a timely fashion. It is also said that users might get to add additional apps to any given backup manually.

As you probably know, Android sports a similar restoration process, but as a whole, it is a hit-or-miss functionality. Now, this restoration feature does its thing whenever you setup your new Android device from scratch, but it usually restores apps that you have uninstalled a long time ago, whereas some of your most used ones are nowhere to be found.

If Google implements such a full-backup feature, it will venture into the realm of Titanium Backup, which is normally touted as the most polished Android backup app.
