  Ain't that great! Who needs restore?

  Let me check my phone:

  Settings -> Accounts and backup ->

"Samsung Cloud
  Back up data		(offers choices for what (not) to back up)
  Restore data		(offers choices for what (not) to restore)
			('Settings' choice includes Wi-Fi settings!)

 Google Drive
  Back up data"		
			(has no restore section!)

  What brand was your new phone again!?

  Sorry, couldn't resist, just kidding.
