Well, I doubt I will maintain my sheets on more than two devices (tablet and smartphone and I expect to use the smartphone in very unprepared cases I'm without a tablet anyway).
But I won't backup my data with the backup function since for my use the backups get to big and take too long. Maybe your interested in my way:
I don't let MSP maintain the sheets and have my own structured folder with the sheets on the SD card.
I keep a mirror of this on my PC and also on the SD card on my phone.
I also have a separate dir in my sheets dir on the SD Card into which I copy the database files from the Android system folder. I update these system files occasionally if there have been changes in my MSP database.
For a complete backup I just use a comparison/sync program to sync my sheets folder on the tablet/smartphone and the folder on the PC. This is like an incremental backup for me and I can mirror/backup my sheets and MSP files with the least amount of time and data transfer.
As long as Mike doesn't introduce more settings that aren't saved or copied with the "system files" this should be a safe backup method as well. Right Mike?
