Since my computers and mobile devices are set up for privacy, I just want
to make one observation, not for Frank per se, but for everyone out there.

Windows automatically backs up the installers simply by virtue of not
deleting the installers after you install. So does Android.

What? Android backs up the installers automatically - by default? 
Yup.

Most people don't know that EVERY installed app is already backed up.
(Of the major 3, only iOS doesn't back up every app installer by default.)
